| 5 | <para>In order for the user and the group "root" to be recognized and to be
|
|---|
| 6 | able to login, there need to be entries in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group file.
|
|---|
| 7 | Besides the group "root", a couple of other groups are recommended or needed
|
|---|
| 8 | by some packages. The groups created below aren't part of any standard.
|
|---|
| 9 | The LSB only recommends a group "bin" with GID 1 to be present besides
|
|---|
| 10 | "root". Other group names and GIDs can be chosen by the user.
|
|---|
| 11 | Well-written packages don't depend on GID numbers, but use the group's
|
|---|
| 12 | name; so it doesn't matter which GID a group has. Since there
|
|---|
| 13 | aren't any standards for groups, the groups created here are the groups the
|
|---|
| 14 | MAKEDEV script (the script that creates the device files in the /dev
|
