Hrmbl. I have existing Debian systems that use UPG with UIDs and GIDs decidedly non-matching. It only takes one extra addgroup without a corresponding adduser in the default configuration to make the IDs go out of sync, I think---or at least that's what I've observed with both lenny and current sid. I kind of doubt testing numeric ID equivalence between those two namespaces is a good idea. ---> Drake Wilson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
