Agreed on the "messagebus" user. However, no documentation I could find shows anything about a gid. Consensus from the group though, seems that gid=uid is the most proper solution. Thanks to everyone for their input so far. I'm hoping that Bruce throws his two cents in as well, as I noticed when he created the groups/users table recently, the PostgreSQL user does not have a gid assigned to it. Perhaps this was because he was just going on what was in the book and didn't want to make changes. I do notice that on Anduin, gid=uid is the norm in almost all cases. -- 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] 01:47:01 up 1 day, 10:11, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.14 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
