No more lazy than me. I've been in Unix for years and /etc/group is where
I'm more comfortable. I didn't do it the way you said. I did it from a HOWTO
on the 'net and they didn't have me in 50-udev.rules. I lost it somewhere. I
try not to keep things around that don't work. Nothing as frustrating as
finding an old piece of paper with an email or web page on it telling me how
to do something wrong.
