[CVALE] musical groups

[Dennis Baker]

Damn.. good catch there.  I found groupmod also does it but it turns out
that won't really help Patrick much in any case.

To be honest the whole Unix groups system is pretty goofy.

Patrick a possibility which is nothing more than a hack would be to create a
third group that is completely rebuilds the group either from cron or when
you change the groups.  The third group would contain everyone in managers
and staff.  When you remove someone from managers if they were in staff they
will stay there.  Then set the file permissions based on that third group
rather than the staff group.
