<para>In order for root to be able to login and for the name "root" to be

recognized, there need to be relevant entries in the

<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 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>
