Thanks Gregory, but I'm inclined not to include this patch
for a couple of reasons.  First it overloads the meaning
the 'template primary group' to doa couple of unrelated
operations.  And secondly, i think it is more intuitive to
leave the primary group as it is on the DC.

This issue has come up in the past but it has always been a specific
need for an application (e.g. clearcase).





cheers, jerry
