Group passwords are certainly required on linux. Until we can come up
with a test for whether they are or are not required, I would like to
leave the test for password presence in the code. The workaround for you
is either to comment out the code in edgroup.c or to add passwords to
/etc/group i.e. a * in the second field of each line. In case you
haven't yet discovered, CSuite uses that field for "supergroups",
effectively creating a hierarchy of group control.
We'll work on idletimes.
