Stop (ab)using system groups for device permissions
Registered by
Martin Pitt
NSS Groups should solely be for grouping people. They should not be used extensively to assign privileges to local device permissions, since this leads to proliferation of more and more groups, difficulties with maintaining those groups, and even more difficulties with maintaining them centrally in e. g. NIS or LDAP.
