Not at all. Give each user their own group, and *explicitly* have to add them as members of groups to which they should have rights. I loathe the idea of putting all users in the same group by default, as some distros of both Unix and Linux do. That's creating a security weakness _by default_. > How 'bout creating groups per team, which is the way it should be? Of course. But addition of accounts to such groups should not be the default action of the system administration tools.
