I'm teaching RH033 this week, and thought I could handle anything that would
get thrown at me.
Then one student noticed that root is a member of the following groups:
root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel
and they asked the (what seems to me to be) obvious question: Why is root in
all these groups. after all, isn't root root ? Why does root need to be in
these groups ?
And I couldn't come up w/ an answer...
Admittedly I was tired (at the end of a rather long day).
is this "historic" in nature, and people are afraid to just remove the
unnecessary groups from root ? Or is there a real reason why root needs to be
in someone elses group ? (I can't even think of a historic reason why this
might need to be...)
Inquiring minds waht to know...
thx, and rgds,

You can release software that's good, software that's inexpensive, or
software that's available on time. You can usually release software
that has 2 of these 3 attributes -- but not all 3.
