- Wrong. It looks wrong. If you're luck the group id parser will pick
- up either the 10 or the 15 and not get confused about the rest. To
- put people in more than one group, you put one group number in the
- password file and add their name to the group list in /etc/group.

- For example:
-
- stripe:*:102:alan,thisuser,thatuser,otherusr
