AuthBy UNIX and AuthBy SYSTEM check both primary and secondary groups.

You generally set them up like this:

# configure AuthBy clauses in configuration file

<AuthBy FILE>
	Identifier CheckFILE
	......
</AuthBy>

<AuthBy UNIX>
	Identifer CheckUNIX
	.....
</AuthBy>

# configure Realms (or Handlers)

<Realm ....>
	AuthBy CheckFILE
	.....
</Realm>


Then the users file would contain something like this:

# users file DEFAULT definitions

DEFAULT  Auth-Type = CheckUNIX, Group = nnnnn

......
