  Modified files:
    etc                  group 
  Log:
  Remove root from the kmem, sys, tty, and staff groups in the default
  configuration.  Root privileges override DAC on local file systems and
  therefore root does not generally need to be a member of a group to
  access files owned by that group.  In the NFS case, require explicit
  authorization for root to have these privileges.
  
  Leave root in operator for dump/restore broadcast reasons; leave root
  in wheel until discrepencies in the "no users in wheel means any user
  can su" policy are resolved (possibly indefinitely).
