For compatibility with pre-compiled RPMs for Linux, I like to use amanda UID 33 and disk GID 6 that just keeps everything consistent across all of the platforms that I back up. GID 6 has read but not write access to the disk devices for "dump" style backups (xfsdump, ufsdump, dump etc.) and no users are members of that group. -- Jonathan Dill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
