    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
    15 directory) mentions.</para>

     39of 1 to be present. All other group names and GIDs can be chosen freely by
     40the user, as well-written packages don't depend on GID numbers but use the
