If you want to _only_ look in /etc/group then you have to
prefix "Unix Group". The change is deliberate and will not
be taken back. You are right that the documentation in
"invalid users" is misleading and wrong here, we need to
work on that.

I've seen your bug report.

Question: Would you want to rewrite the section for "invalid
users"? The developers on this list here will certainly help
with questions you have and proof-read your suggestions :-)
