Sure but in this case the admins group is treated as a user since it's in the user entry of the file's security descriptor. I think we never get that right. The problem is that the ls entries only are 8 chars long, not enough to be really informative. Whatever you put in there ("unknown", "????????", "mkpasswd", "run mkpa", "dumbass"), you will deterministically get confused users. Which means, I appreciate that you're going to add a few words to the users guide. It's something we can point people to.
