[Opensource] removing group membership "Nobody"?

[Michael Rimov]

Larry,

I think the issue with this is that if you do not have nobody as a group
member, then when a person is officially added to the user database, then
all anonymously accessible pages suddenly become inaccessible.  It is
possible that user registration currently takes care of this by adding the
nobody group to a new user, but I'm a little concerned about side effects of
the change you're proposing.... albeit it is more of a gut reaction than a
concrete "don't do it" :)

HTH!

in DefaultUserInfo.getGroups(), line 510, adds a group to every user's list
of group memberships:
       myGroups.addElement("Nobody");

why?  

Unless there is a good reason, I propose removing this imposed membership of
"Nobody", with an optional Setup switch to reinstate it in case someone is
depending on it.
