A small number are, all RedHat private user groups.  Some are system
groups (ie, root.root, named.named and the like).  Most users are just
students, staff or admins.  It should'nt be that hard to add an
exception into the code that just ignores private groups should it? 
Also ignoring sytem users and groups shouldn't be that hard.
