Replying to [comment:8 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > so, if I'm reading it correctly, useradd seems to have invented a group, given it the user's name, and made it the user's primary group. That's what I see as well. > from memory, all the rh-derived distros, not sure about debian-derived. Yep, that sounds correct regarding RH, anyway. The Debian box I have at work has a single (non-root) user, who is a member of a single group that has the same name as the user -- but that group has GID 1000, so I may have changed its name when I first added the user a couple years ago. I don't remember for sure. But what I'd like to know now is, why force everyone to have a single common group, and then avoid using it? Maybe this is just an interim measure though; that could be. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2144#comment:9> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
