That shouldn't be necessary at all. You can even drop Everyone
completely from /etc/group with the current version from CVS.
I don't know if it's clever to set group membership to Everyone
since that's the ACL entry which is evaluated as POSIX "other".
I never tried it (I didn't even have the idea to do that).
Anyway, it's really wrong what you're doing. Pierre's changes
eliminated the usage of Everyone as a group. In that light I'd
say, yes, it's a result of Pierre's changes and it's correct.
Does `id' mention Everyone in the supplementary group list? I
doubt it since it's not important what is in /etc/group under
NT+ntsec but it's important what is in your access token. And
Everyone is filtered as a group since it is none. It's the
"other" or "world" of NT.
