Okay, one of these days I'm going to wake up and find out there is nothing left to learn about Linux. But it hasn't happened yet.
Am I the only Linux user on the planet who didn't know there was such a thing as "group administrators" in Linux? According to this book I'm reading, you can designate users to be administrators for groups, using the gpassword command. "Group administrators may add members to and remove members from a group and change the group password." Also, regular users can add themselves to a group using the newgrp command, but only if they know the group password.
The book says that not all distros are configured correctly to allow this.
