Pierre,

Do you ming explaining how this patch makes it any better if the user
deleted all entries with SID S-1-5-32-544 from /etc/group?  Even if
"mkgroup -l" does return an administrators entry, not having it in
/etc/group means the script can't assign the sshd_server account to it.
At least, the current script will pick the first available one...
