I really don't think that it matters a whole lot so long as the chosen group does exist ;-) and is not given perms where they're not needed, but I'll throw out a suggestion anyway. The group 'nogroup' might work well. For me personally on my own systems, I will use a matching group name to ease (or furthur complicate) administration....but I do this for all users anyway and match gid and uid as well. I know RH's useradd defaults used to work this way, I'm not sure of their current practice. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
