An interesting bit of info:
The only file that has grp of dba is the one I created as a test:

none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)

usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)

none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol04 on /tmp type ext3 (rw)
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol03 on /var type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
