List dwellers,

Whilst in the process of setting up another server 'gentoo based', I've
noticed that the adduser command creates the new username and puts it into
the 'users' group. This strikes me as being quite different to the every
username gets there own groupname setup of the previous RedHat boxs I've
setup.

My Google searches to this points have been rather fruitless, BUT that could
just be my choice of catalyst words.

What I'd appreciate knowing;
        a) Is there any need to do the 'RedHat' style username = groupname.
        b) Is the 'Gentoo' way better
        c) URL's that might explain the background of either option better.
        d) Any Sys-Admins using one or the other with there benefits!

thanks, Andrew Sands
