We're just pretty sure he doesn't want to go to the trouble of adding a group named root, with or without the -o option. :;-)) For what it's worth, I did a groupadd -o -g 0 root ; and then edited /etc/group to put the root group ahead of the wheel group, and I got the owner:group he expected from ls -l / ; I deleted the new root group immediately because I don't want to know what might break or how by gaming the system like that for now good reason. I guess I need to get up the courage to boot my custom kernel with the experiment GPT support and see what happens, instead of making useless noise on misc@ .

Yeah, renaming wheel to root makes for increased security, too. :) It prompted people to write recommendations, HOWTOs, and security cheat sheets about creating groups named staff, admins, and the like, and give _those_ special privileges. You can't make these things up, I'm telling ya. Regards, Liviu Daia

Hi guys! I copied my files from Debian [ext4] to my new server OpenBSD [5.7 amd64], and I found that all files of 'ROOT' group were imported [in OpenBSD] in the 'Wheel' group. Why is this? [Owner is the same, there is no change.] Thank fro reply.

Re: GROUP CHANGED
Groups and users are actually just numbers, the mapping to names happens in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. On Linux, user 0 is 'root' and group 0 is 'root'. On BSDs, user 0 is 'root', but group 0 is 'wheel'. Check the /etc/group file on both systems, and you will see. Bernd On 14/06/15 15:46, Max Power wrote: Thank You Gilles for Your reply.

Or, Warning; delusional nut job about to pontificate. Well there is this funny story about when I hacked into RMS's firmware-driven keyboard controller, and managed to grap his root password. Later there was another user (who obviously should never have root), but since there was no wheel group.
