I think you mean the "hacked" groups binary. It's true that this one
is missing in the Debian package (my fault). As soon as there will be
a new release of scponly there will be a new Debian package including
this. For the time being, I can only advise you to manually rebuild
the Debian package and use the 'groups' binary found in the scponly-src-
root after compilation. (Hint: apt-get source, dpkg-buildpackage). Sorry.
