Group Permission

Right I add *users* all the time. Now I'm trying to add a group into a group. I "guess" I might be able to use the groupID to add it into another group. I'm pretty sure that back in the days when I used webmin I was able to do this. Now I'm trying to get closer to the config files and I'm trying to figure out how to do it right inside of /etc/group.
