Hello Managers,
I'd like to thank Pat O'Brien, Jim Belonis, Rich Copeland, Ian Mortimer,
and J.A. Gutierrez for their responses.
Their suggestions were all the same, and pretty much the answer I
figured. I need to create a new group with a new GID and add all the
users to this new group. Then I will need to go back and realign all
the users's GIDs on their files.
