http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11589 We have user UIDs starting from 1000, but GIDs only from 100. The most correct would be to have user-created GIDs start from 1000 too, but then users that already have created 1xx groups should recreate them and re-chgrp all files/dirs :-/ -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
