I'll second on official creation of the `utmp' group, even if none of the other major Linux distributions are also doing this... though I wonder if they are, and if they also call the group `utmp'. We ought to use the same group name, even if not all use the same standard GID for that group. Is the "Linux Standards Base" project still alive?
Along these same lines... I've noticed that there is currently a `uucp' group, a `dip' group, and a `dialout' group. Do we really need all three? What is the intended use of each group? Shouldn't they all just be consolidated under `dialout'? `minicom' is group owned by `uucp'. My ttyS1 is owned by group `dialout', and `pppd' is owned by group `dip'. I don't see the need for all three groups. Is there a reason for that that I've not thought of? -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Karl M. Hegbloom) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Karl M.
