[sabayon] Applying profiles to members of a group

["Sayamindu Dasgupta" <sayamindu randomink org>]

Hi all,

I attached the first iteration of a small script that applies a
profile to the members of a given group.
You can run it like

sabayon4grps.py <groupname> <profilename>

I've also pasted the code into http://live.gnome.org/PythonSabayon

Cheers,
-sdg-

profile = sys.argv[2]

grp_members = grp.getgrnam(group)[3]
#TODO - user foo is usually implicitly a member of 
#       group foo. Need to implement that.

for user in grp_members:
	apply_profile(user, profile)
