Allow supplementary groups to be set via the /etc/default/useradd config file. Allowing an administrator to set additonal groups via the GROUPS configurable and control the default behaviour of useradd.

Hm, convince me...

What's an example where I'd really want this, where every time in the future that I add a user I'll get those groups? It seems more likely I'd want to have a list of groups which I wanted added to this next batch of student users I'm creating now, but then in two weeks when the other admin is adding a user to run some script, this GROUP entry will have been forgotten and now it has unintended access.

Well I guess it's optional and default-empty, so it's ok. Thanks.
