*snipped* Actually, my suggestion would be for those system users that are associated with network daemons, to use a group to match the port they open...i.e. apache assigned 80, ssh assigned 22, etc. No real reason, except to try to have SOME rhyme/reason to assignment - those that don't do network stuff can be assigned somewhat arbitrarily. -J- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
