	This was actually covered in this thread (first post, actually) by
Torfinn Ingolfsen:

"Better to use this:
   pw groupmod dialer -m myuser
it will ony affect the dialer group, and not mess with any other groups.
"

	The above will add the user "myuser" to the "dialer" group while
leaving the user's other group intact as well.
