If this is indeed how users-admin behaves, it's wrong. The only
difference between groups in the 0-99 range and those in 100-999 is that
those in 0-99 are allocated statically by the base-passwd maintainer
(a.k.a. me) while those in 100-999 are allocated dynamically by packages
calling 'addgroup --system'. For example, plugdev is GID 46 and should
be displayed by users-admin. It may be true that some groups in the 0-99
range should not be shown by users-admin (as indeed should some groups
in 100-999, e.g. ssh), but just blacklisting everything under 100 is
entirely the wrong answer.

Could you or somebody confirm this behaviour from the source and file a
separate bug on gnome-system-tools about it? Feel free to quote me and
use /usr/share/doc/base-passwd/users-and-groups.html as a reference.
