+Summary: Mono.Unix.UnixGroupInfo cannot be serialized because it does not have a default public constructor
+
+It is not possible to serialize eg Mono.Unix.UnixGroupInfo because there is
+no default public constructor for constructing copies. Thus code like this
+fails:
+
+    [WebMethod]
+    public UnixGroupInfo[] GetRealGroups()
+    {
+        return UnixGroupInfo.GetLocalGroups();
+    }
+
+This is likely by design, but I thought I'd raise the issue for
+consideration nonetheless.
