>Description:

It has been somehow overlooked that oops pseudo-user created by th einstall
script has default group of 0.  Having in mind that many systems now have
sudo(8) installed and, moreover, most of known sudo configurations use group
wheel (0) as privileged.

So, I've decided to change default group to nogroup.

As this fault may have security impacts, I'd like to see this patch committed before 6.0-R.
