By editing the group file directly (best done via vigr or 'vipw -g') is
one way.  You generally can't use usermod, because it's tied too
specifically to the local Linux system.  You can use gpasswd instead,
though.  On Debian, you can type

	adduser user group

because the adduser script uses gpasswd.
