in the context of ChrootCompile, or pre-built packages installed by InstallPackage, the user/groups might get a different number on the system than they were compiled with. Is this a problem? I imagine it affects the .tar files at least (or do/can they store users/groups by name not number somehow?), if not other parts of the compiled program (or would that be considered a bug, one that other distros might have trouble with too?) ~Isaac _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
