OK On encountering following warning during installing Sysklogd--1.4.1 (running "make install"); ....... invalid group `root' make: *** [install_man] Error 1 <<< END >>> I checked the chrooted partition and found the file /etc/group already existing with correct content on it. I further fourd a file "group.lock" created, on it only a number "26708^@". I renamed the file "group.lock" as "group_lock" and re-ran "make install" but no improvement, with the same warning popup. Later it was found; # ps 26708 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND I left this package aside and continued installing "Sysvinit-2.86". Same warning popup; ..... install: invalid group `root' make: *** [install] Error 1 <<< END >>> Then I re-did "Shadow-4.0.9" starting on a new source tree leaving "MD5 method of password encryption" and "shadowed group passwords" not installed. Afterwards I re-installed Sysklogd--1.4.1 also starting on a new source tree but encountering the same problem "invalid group `root'" This time no new "group.lock" generated. I found another file "gshadow.lock" there. I also renamed it as "gshadow_lock" and re-installed Sysklogd--1.4.1 the 3rd time without breakthrough. I re-checked my notes and googled around without discovery. The close thread found was; http://archives.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-support/2002-January/002120.html On chrooted partition running root:/# id uid=0(root) gid=0 groups=0 "gid" and "groups" did not have names, only a number.
