If you have read #248130 and know debian, you probably know local details are usually nicely configurable. You probably also know about debconf, preseeding and priorities anyway. I.e. for addgroup a configuration analogy to adduser's homedirs would be: GROUPDIRS=no DGROUPDIR=/home/group QUOTAGROUP= GROUP_DIR_MODE=2775 > what is required from a distribution is > just a set of sane defaults. Before we can actually choose any defaults, we need functionality that is able to optionally set up collaboration directories. To set up the directories that are bound to groups, addgroup is the obvious place for this. I don't know the right place yet though, for the option to set up the groupdir for the "users" system group, and ~/private and ~/incoming for each user. > in reality such > unnessesary options will only confuse inexperieced users and irritate > administrators. Ready to go and easy collaboration among the users of a system may not be necessary and welcomed by everyone. Just stay with those things disabled then, you shouldn't even notice. I'd like quote Petter here, "You should not really allow your lack of imagination to limit what computer systems can handle. :)" The great thing about Debian is that it can mean and handle so many different things for so many people. Thank you for being helpful to flash this out. Cheers, Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
