Hi,

Alright, thanks for the information. It's a lot less worrying now. I'll
leave it be or remove it, no-one has remote access to my hardware nodes
anyway (RFC1918 addressed). I also noticed that it was *gid not *uid, but
it's still not the "proper way" to do it IMHO.

Anyway, thanks for all the information and clarifications.

Br,
Timh
