I think I typed in something wrong and sort of made a mess of it. I had
to copy a backup file for group and passwd to get things working again.
Here is what I have right now:

What I would like to do is get rid of things that shouldn't be there.
It appears I have a group or two that shouldn't exist. I guess anyway.
I know about groupdel but want to make sure before I actually do
anything AGAIN. When I did this a few minutes ago, kdm would let me
login until I restored group and passwd.
Should I have a group called dale and dale2? Those are my users. dale
is my main account and dale2 is for when I need to test a clean account.
Does anyone see anything else that needs fixin here?
Thanks much.
Dale
:-) :-)
