Groups consists of files named after the group name stored in `etc/groups/`, containing the names of the group members, one per line.
Users and groups share the same namespace, you can create a group the same way you create a user but instead of a 'password' file adding a 'members' file containing the names of the group members, one per line.
A 'user-group' directory can contain both a password and members file, in which case it will act concurrently as a user and as a group.
