#41039: Installing MacPorts on Mavericks Renames "staff" Group To "macports"

 Priority:  Normal          |  Milestone:
Component:  ports           |    Version:  2.2.1

----------------------------+--------------------------------
 After upgrading to Mavericks, I installed MacPorts 2.2.1 using the
 "Mavericks" version of the installer. Today, when doing an "ls -l" in
 Terminal, I noticed that my default user group now says "macports" instead
 of "staff." However, when I look at the gid that is allocated to the
 "macports" group, it is indeed the value 20 that is normally associated
 with "staff." Somehow the MacPorts installation has hijacked the "staff"
 name. How can I get it restored to its proper name?

 A listing of my /etc/group file still has

   staff:*:20:root

 as one of the entries, and there are no "macports" entries. So where is
 this remapping of the "staff" into "macports" happening?
