Default system group

Hello,

Is it normal for new users added to a AIX5.1 box to be in the system group?
When I removed myself from that group (thinking that I shouldn't have those
types of privledges), things like uptime stopped working for me.

So, should all users be in the group or not?

Thanks.

No.

Never.

Doing AIX support was the most monty-pythonesque

Eagerly awaiting my thin chocolat mint.
