Can anyone explain to me the benefits of per-user groups? It seems to me that modern *nix systems, FreeBSD included, create a new group for each user. Is there a security benefit (or some other benefit) to be had by this? Why has it apparently been adopted as a convention by the free *nix flavours? Just curious, not looking to start a long discussion about it, so off-list answers are fine. thanks, Klaus To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
