If you use GL capability, as suggested earlier - you don't need group
passwords - and that's what's so great about GL.

So, by assigning each group security as follows:

(R,L,X,W,A,S:GL)

and giving all users GL capablity, you have the security you need without
the nuisance associated with group password maintenance (you were going to
regularly change the group passwords, weren't you?)

This is due to the very useful aspect of GL, which is that one can only be
GL with respect to one's own home group.  Once you stray from your home
group, you lose your GL capability. Of course the AM user has access to all
files in the account.

Having group passwords should be avoided - and can be with the judicious
use of GL.
