Normally the information with ntsec is a superset of the other.
However if the user has populated the gr_mem fields in /etc/group,
they will only appear with nontsec.
That information is used when setuid (to cover the case where the PDC
is not available), so, yes, it could be interesting.
Thanks. I never would have thought of this.
