At last, a new version of base-files to try :) There've been lots of changes (hence the major version increment). Please remember that this *WILL NOT* update your current /etc/profile and the skel files *WILL NOT* be copied unless you are a new user.
Thanks to (in no particular order)... Igor Pechtchanski (lots!) Elfyn McBratney (lots!) Kenneth G Lafond (colour changes) Max Bowsher (various) David Kilroy (printer) Corinna Vinschen (printer) Alan Miles (/usr/bin/install -D -p -v) Charles Wilson (MANPATH and INFOPATH) (FHS) If I missed anyone, I'm sorry! I've also added a test for id -ng = "mkpasswd" or = "mkgroup" along with a message. Hopefully this might cut down on the number of "I have no user" messages :) If there's a similar test I can do for UID "out of range" I'd be happy to add that to. Feedback welcome.
