Would someone really be affected if the UID of postfix on their server is 21 but on the remote server that they login to it is 22? Except during the creation, no one ever uses the UIDs and GIDs, everyone uses the user/group name. The only issue is if the same directory is mounted on different systems, which would require lot more things be common between the two systems other than the system UIDs/GIDs. Also note that this recommendation is for including it in the book as a safe way to create users/groups. For individual installations, folks can still use any scheme that they want based on their needs. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
