Description

This causes errors like:

2014-03-30T06:45:49CDT  verbose: Handling file existence constraints on '/etc/motd'
2014-03-30T06:45:49CDT     info: /rudder_motd/methods/'any'/rudder_motd_configuration/files/'${rudder_motd_file}': Unable to make file belong to an unknown group
2014-03-30T06:45:49CDT  verbose: Defining promise result class 'rudder_motd_file_edition_failed'
2014-03-30T06:45:49CDT  verbose: Defining promise result class 'rudder_motd_file_edition_error'

This should generally be replaced by group "0" (system on AIX, root on Linux and others).

However, in some cases, like the /etc/motd file, we need to specify which group it should belong to ("bin" for /etc/motd).
