Too much of a tangent to to put it into the existing thread:  Can someone
give me a description of why we have user and group 'bin'?

Clearly there's a good deal of variance in whether things get installed as
root/wheel or bin/bin.  I'm not at all clear on what it is intended to
acheive, when it should be used and why.

Is there any documentation of the purpose and implications of the groups
used by freebsd as installed?
