I've had a users group in my own builds for years, probably derived from fedora, and it has always been 1000. Shadow is now maintained by debian, no ? So the fact that it too uses 1000 implies many people will already use 1000 for the group owning their files. OK, you can set up a completely new set of groups in the LFS system, but if you share /home between the original host system and LFS (e.g. until you feel confident that LFS is the right way for you) then this justs adds unnecessary change. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
