Comment(by bdubbs@…):
The numbers associated with a group should be meaningless other than gid
0.
The groups and gids above are *not* the same. RH has bin=1, Debian has
bin=2
If a package requires a specific gid, then there is a problem with the
package.
The LFS group order has not changed, at least the first 10 entries or so,
since before LFS 1.0. I'm pretty sure they are from an old RH version
from 1999 or so. I admit that tape, floppy, and dialout are not really
relevant any more. Note that bin and lp uid values (not gid) are set in
BLFS, not LFS.
See the discussion 'About System Users and Groups' in Chapter 3 of BLFS.
