Replying to [comment:2 tmraz]:
I think that the group names containing parentheses are really non-
portable.
We could probably make the characters configurable by an pam_access
option, however I am not sure this is worth the complication of the code.
Valid characters for group names are according to POSIX:
[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_.-]*[A-Za-z0-9_.-]
Even the samba "$" isn't really allowed. I think the restrictions makes
much sense and we shouldn't change that.
