|
|---|
| 6 | login, there needs to be an entry in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group file.
|
|---|
| 7 | Besides the group root, a couple of other groups are recommended and needed by
|
|---|
| 8 | 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 | group root. Other group names and GID's can be chosen by the user. Well
|
|---|
| 11 | written packages don't depend on GID numbers but just use the group
|
|---|
| 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
