Will look into it.  Presumably it'd also fail if /etc/passwd or
/etc/group does not exist.

Known problem.  Will have to come up with a better error-message.

I'm pretty sure I've checked in a fixed version already.

The support for user-groups (groups with the same name as the username)
isn't properly implemented yet.  I'll add this to the TODO-list though,
it's missing in that list.

Indeed.  I'll have to do code-audits later on.

Yup.  Probably a bitch to implemente, but it should be possible to reuse
for write.
