That would work fine for the groups added later, but not for the initial gids. "users" is the one to worry about. By the time the machine starts and I'm able to edit /etc/group, there are a slew of files that have been created as a member of the initial ids. That's where the problem is. I'd like to be able to specify the gids for the files created during installation. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA1INtjeziQOokQnARAriuAJ9iVE6tiZMXoZ4y0jhmXqUXIL9DXQCZAXcG qSrfqDDbUXtO7bdm0zq4A98= =FZL8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
