Hi all.
   I'm building a LiveCD based on kernel 2.6.20, busybox 1.6.0 and other tools 
that I need.
   My first step was to build a basic LiveCD : a bootable CD using Grub, the 
kernel 2.6 and busybox.
   
   With busybox 2.6.0 all work great EXCEPT a problem using user/group. The 
following commands don't work correctly :
    # touch toto
    # chgrp bin toto
    chgrp: unknown group name: bin
   
   But the grou bin exist in /etc/group :
   # more /etc/group
   root::0:root
   bin::1:
   rpm::2:
   
   I've look around my config fils in /etc (/etc/passwd, /etc/group, 
/etc/shadow and /etc/nsswitch.conf) but all seem ok !
   Content is above :
     # more /etc/group
     root::0:root
     bin::1:
     rpm::2:
   
     # more /etc/shadow
     root:?????:12439:0:99999:7:::
   
     # more /etc/passwd
     root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
 
   I've tried with the recent 1.7.1 busybox and it seem to work (the chgrp work 
correctly).
   
   BUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   
   I've the RPM tool in my binaries (I don't use the busybox rpm version coz I 
need all option of RPM) and here, for a package that need group bin, RPM say me 
that group bin doesn't exist !!!!!!!!!!!!!
   Damned !
   
   # rpm -Uvh --nodeps expat-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
   warning: group bin doesn't exist  - using root
   
   
   Anybody have an idea where I can look ?
   I'm unable to find a way to solve this !
   For a complementary information, after my boot process, I'm directly 
conected in root account. A problem of initab that can imply the rest ?

Thx for your help !
JB
