<para>In order for the user and group root to be recognized and to be able to
|
||
|
|
login, there needs to be an entry in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group file.
|
||
|
|
Besides the group root, a couple of other groups are recommended and needed by
|
||
|
|
packages. The groups created below aren't part of any standard.
|
||
|
|
The LSB only recommends a group bin with GID 1 to be present besides
|
||
|
|
group root. Other group names and GID's can be chosen by the user. Well
|
||
|
|
written packages don't depend on GID numbers but just use the group
|
||
|
|
name, so it doesn't matter which GID a group has. Since there
|
||
|
|
aren't any standards for groups the groups created here are the groups the
|
||
|
|
MAKEDEV script (the script that creates the device files in the /dev
|
||
|
|
directory) mentions.</para>
