| 306 | <para>The created groups are not part of any standard—they are groups
|
---|
| 307 | decided on in part by the requirements of the Udev configuration in this
|
---|
| 308 | chapter, and in part by common convention employed by a number of existing
|
---|
[030875a8] | 309 | Linux distributions. In addition, some test suites rely on specific users
|
---|
| 310 | or groups. The Linux Standard Base (LSB, available at <ulink
|
---|
[d2c332bc] | 311 | url="http://www.linuxbase.org"/>) recommends only that, besides the group
|
---|
| 312 | <systemitem class="groupname">root</systemitem> with a Group ID (GID) of 0,
|
---|
| 313 | a group <systemitem class="groupname">bin</systemitem> with a GID of 1 be
|
---|
| 314 | present. All other group names and GIDs can be chosen freely by the system
|
---|
| 315 | administrator since well-written programs do not depend on GID numbers, but
|
---|
| 316 | rather use the group's name.</para>
