The debug output is only visible with strace. Somehow I would like to convey
to unsophisticated users that they should edit /etc/group if they have
a permission problem when running disconnected. That should be written
in some doc...

That will be for tonight. There will be a slightly improved patch,
avoiding duplicate groups.
By the way,
struct __group32 *gr;
if (gr->gr_gid == pw->pw_gid)
causes a compiler warning about signed/unsigned comparison.
struct passwd has an "int pw_gid" field. Is that posix?
I am also working on a setgroup().
