All those have a problem: they don't give you all the members for a
group.

If I do this on my system:

# id
uid=1000(davide) gid=100(users)
groups=100(users),11(floppy),17(audio),18(video),1 9(cdrom)

# grep users /etc/group
users::100:

So I'm member of the group 'users' but I do not appear in the group file
associated to that group.

NT with no network connection. I wonder if a B3 rating for Linux with no
power cord might be of value.
