37that the MAKEDEV script in the next section uses. Besides the group "root",
38the LSB (<ulink url="http://www.linuxbase.org"/>) recommends only a group
39"bin", with a GID of 1, be present. All other group names and GIDs can be
40chosen freely by the user, as well-written packages don't depend on GID
41numbers but use the group's name.</para>
