group file format

I am not sure if this question is kernel related, but I am guessing
that security is compiled into the kernel.

Several years ago I worked on a BSDi unix machine.
The group file, as I remember, did not have an entry
for each user. I added a user's name to the group
that the user was to be included in.

Linux (RH 5.0 k-2.0.32) seems to add an entry (new group)
for each user into the group file.

Is it a very big project to change this to the BSDi format,
or a similar format for the groups file?

How would I go about this?

Thanks,
Michael
