They speciiiiiiifiy brought that up at the V4 update seminar I took. It's
a planned feature of VMS.  THe way DEC suggest you work around it (i think
it's in the release notes, but I'm fairly sure it's also online on the DSIN
system is to run a bunch of detached LOGINOUT processes, give them com files
for input, and give them an arbitray uic in the appropriate group, and give
them GRPNAM..  My workaround, that I never tried, since I don't do that
in my systartup, was to create a new table called GROUP_xxx and put the
logicals their.. The table should then become the right group table
when the users log in.. (or not, don't hold me to this, like I said,
I never botherd to try it...)
