How does this format relate to the format used by webmin-users and
webmin-ldap-skolelinux2?  I suspect it is smart to try to use the same
format as webmin-users is using.  I believe the format used by
webmin-ldap-skolelinux2 is based on webmin-users.

Cerebrum, <URL:http://cerebrum.sourceforge.net/>, is using XML files
for import and export.  It might be an idea to check out those as
well.

If you read the architecture document, you will notice that I wrote
that user groups should be represented as both filegroups and
netgroups.  I do not want to confuse the users with different types of
user groups.  Adding a user into a group should add him to both file
group and netgroup with the same name.
