on my f20 system, perusing the account-related commands and ran
across the "groupmems" command, whose man page reads:

"SETUP
       The groupmems executable should be in mode 2770 as user root and in 
group groups. The system administrator can
       add users to group groups to allow or disallow them using the groupmems 
utility to manage their own group
       membership list.

                $ groupadd -r groups
                $ chmod 2770 groupmems
                $ chown root.groups groupmems
                $ groupmems -g groups -a gk4"

  currently, /usr/sbin/groupmems has the following properties:

# ls -l /usr/sbin/groupmems
-rwxr-x---. 1 root root 56960 Jul 26  2013 /usr/sbin/groupmems
#

  so how should i interpret the man page? should groupmems be setgid?
or is the man page suggesting how the reader might set it to setgid
for further customization? the way the man page is worded seems
ambiguous.
