Thanks for the suggestion. That would definitely do the job. I think the wrinkle comes because multiple packages are not supposed (or allowed, I'm not sure) to create/remote the same user/groups. We'd end up with the logic you reference above in both autoqa and autotest spec files (I think). I suspect package reviewers would frown on that and recommend we just rely on autotest for it's user/group definition. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:UsersAndGroups Thanks, James
