One question: do we really need gid= option?  The only user I know is
identd, but does anybody use it nowadays?

With gid= I see 2 drawbacks:

1) Code becomes worse because of additional permission checks.

2) From the upstream's point of view it is very limited and unextendable
feature.


So, I'd go further without gid=, at least for the beginning.

Thanks,
