You know, a gidreserve or uidreserve would be useful too. ${EMPLOYER} maps the group "users" to gid 101 instead of what Debian uses, 100. If one doesn't stop at a completely bare-bones base install to reserve gid 101 to allow the conversion from users=100 to users=101, it gets taken up by the next package that needs a low, but assigned-at-install-time, gid. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
