You can name the group anything you'd like to. I fact, you can use any security 
paradigm you'd like to (including open). I was only making suggestions.

>I'm finally beginning to understand why security is so tight.

Think of it this way. The braille display is the blind user's screen. You 
wouldn't trust a system very much if any other user on the system could change 
your current screen content. You very rightly expect your screen to contain 
only the output from the command you're currently running, and you very rightly 
expect the system to enforce this.
