Hi all, Noted in the PostgreSQL instructions is that a user "postgres" is created and assigned to the "users" group. Best I can tell there is nowhere in LFS or BLFS that specifies to create a "users" group.
I probably did this quite a while back, not realizing that the group "users" is not identified in the (B)LFS books. My mistake. However, this brings me to my question. I'm creating instructions for the BLFS book to add the D-BUS package. There is a user that needs to be created but this user has no specific group that it needs to be added to. On my systems, I add these users to the "users" group, which I have on my system, but as I mentioned apparently isn't identified in the group file created by (B)LFS. That said, what should we do for users that don't need group ID? I've always thought that it was good to dump these types of users into the "users" group, but thinking about it, perhaps not. I'd appreciate input from the group. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 00:37:01 up 1 day, 9:01, 3 users, load average: 0.21, 0.05, 0.15 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
