There is a group Guests and a user Guest - however, I'm not sure how to tell
the primary (or the secondary) group of a user.

I think the group entries may be wrong - they don't tally with the output of
mkpasswd -g.  I assume this is due to a missedit at some point in the past
on my part, rather than a file format change.  However, when I changed them,
it seemed to upset some of my permissions.

#/etc/passwd
Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-CAMPC004\Administrator,S-1-5-21
-527237240-854245398-1202660629-500:/home/Administrator:/bin/bash
Guest:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:501:513:U-CAMPC004\Guest,S-1-5-21-527237240-85424
5398-1202660629-501:/home/Guest:/bin/false

#/etc/group - as was
Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544:
Guests:S-1-5-32-546:546:

#/etc/group entries from output of mkpasswd -g
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
Guests:*:546:546:,S-1-5-32-546::

Cheers,
Phil.
