I am running Debian 1.3.1. The following lines from /etc/passwd
seem strange:
majordom:x:30:31:majordom:/usr/lib/majordomo:/bin/sh

Is there a canonical list of what the preinstalled users should be?
Thanks.

I have a zip disk and the 1.2 rescue floppy system can see it.
Though you might consider making it a module since it prevents use
of a printer through the same parallel port. I used the debian
stuff to make a new kernel. It worked very nicely. Thank you Debian.
