This was not only an ugly demo. I really have group id-s in this range.

But this is only test:

www:/etc# grep test8 /etc/group
test8:x:44302:
www:/etc# echo "This IS the big secret" > /etc/big_secret
www:/etc# chown root:test8 /etc/big_secret
www:/etc# chmod 660 /etc/big_secret
www:/etc# ls -al /etc/big_secret

This is not a joke.
I don't belive it that this is normal.
