This is just an error which occurs when you don't have the Group ID 100 (or unset). Check your /etc/passwd and you may want to look at the book how to setup default arguments to certain binaries (mentioned earlier in the book, i think it was II. 3.). You may want to add your default group id to /etc/default/useradd. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
