Am I the only one who thinks that the easiest, and probably old fashioned, 
way to manage groups and users is to edit (as root) the file /etc/group ?

If you are afraid of breaking things: it doesn't hurt if you just read 
the file to see which groups exist and if you are added to any of the 
groups. At least it answers your question "How do I list all groups on my 
computer"
