Thanks for the info.  Now I remember that I saw them already at one
point, but I never had a deeper look what they actually are good for.

However, the user token of such a user still contains the Administrators
group (I just tested it) and thus the `id -G' test for 544 (or 0 with
the old "root" entry in /etc/group) is still valid.
