2<title>Creating passwd and group files</title>

[b822811]5<para>In order for the user and group root to be recognized and to be able to
6login, there needs to be an entry in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group file.
[2f5db45b]7Besides the group root, a couple of other groups are recommended and needed by
[6370fa6]8packages. The groups with their GID's below aren't part of any standard.
[6518edd2]9The LSB only recommends a group bin with GID 1 to be present besides
10group root. Other group names and GID's can be chosen by the user. Well
[6370fa6]11written packages don't depend on GID numbers but just use the group
[6518edd2]12name, so it doesn't matter which GID a group has. Since there
13aren't any standards for groups the groups created here are the groups the
[6370fa6]14MAKEDEV script (the script that creates the device files in the /dev
[b822811]15directory) mentions.</para>
