This is /etc/group from Red Hat
root:x:0:root
bin:x:1:root,bin,daemon
daemon:x:2:root,bin,daemon
sys:x:3:root,bin,adm
adm:x:4:root,adm,daemon
tty:x:5:
disk:x:6:root
lp:x:7:daemon,lp
mem:x:8:
kmem:x:9:
wheel:x:10:root

This is /etc/group from Debian

This is /etc/group from Arch Linux
root:x:0:root
bin:x:1:root,bin,daemon
daemon:x:2:root,bin,daemon
sys:x:3:root,bin
adm:x:4:root,daemon
tty:x:5:
disk:x:6:root
lp:x:7:daemon
mem:x:8:
kmem:x:9:
wheel:x:10:root

If you take a good look, you will see first 7 GID's and group names are same for all of them. Now take a look at LFS /etc/group

root:x:0:
bin:x:1:
sys:x:2:
kmem:x:3:
tty:x:4:
tape:x:5:
daemon:x:6:
floppy:x:7:
disk:x:8:
lp:x:9:
dialout:x:10:

Question is, why does LFS change standard gid's of some groups? I had some problems with package using tty group for which was tought it has gid 5, but in LFS it is gid 4."	defect	closed	normal	7.2	Book	SVN	normal	fixed
