I think we could safely add most groups and users, not only those that are needed by packages on the CD. So far I have found the following groups: httpd mysql cron/frcon (maybe they could share a group, cron?) rlocate/slocate (same here, slocate?) haldaemon messagebus mail postfix postdrop postgres clamav cyrus-imapd And the following users: httpd mysql fcron haldaemon messagebus mail postfix postgres clamav cyrus-imapd -- /Jonas Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
