<para>The created groups aren't part of any standard -- they are the groups
that the MAKEDEV script in the next section uses. Besides the group "root",
the LSB (<ulink url="http://www.linuxbase.org"/>) recommends only a group
"bin", with a GID of 1, be present. All other group names and GIDs can be
chosen freely by the user, as well-written packages don't depend on GID
numbers but use the group's name.</para>

resolution will start working immediately after the
<filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/group<filename> files are
created, because we installed a full glibc in Chapter 5. This will get rid of
the <quote>I have no name!</quote> prompt.</para>
