Interesting. Which GUI command did you use to add the users and the
groups?
Myself, I just used "vipw" to add the users, and "vi" to add group
"xorp" to /etc/group. As a result of that I didn't have any
problems. BTW, when I used the "system-config-users" GUI, I found
some mismatch between the list of groups that were added to the
system and the list of groups shown by that GUI...
