Darn.  Somebody else at work mentioned that they thought that groups can 
be members of groups.  Does that work in RHEL 3?  ie. if user foo is a 
member of group1, and group1 is a member of group2, does foo have access 
to a file with permissions set to allow group2 access?  How deep does it 
nest, if at all?  It sounds odd to me...
