apt-get upgrade installs unnecessary users / Cobalt RaQ 3i

2001-02-05 Thread H.P. Stroebel

hi list,

1) i switched recently from redhat to debian for an internet server
installation

i deleted unnecessary users and groups like games, audio etc., but they
were reinstalled when doing the first apt-get upgrade.

could anyone point me please to some ressources concerning default
users/groups, which of them are necessary and how to avoid their
reinstallation ?

2) another server we run is a cobalt raq 3i. does anyone run it under
debian, or did anyone at least try to install it ?

thx

A very good move.  MUCH easier to maintain.

Just ignore them.  A group with no members doesn't hurt anything.  (They
are there as placeholders.)
