So, we have to keep in sync all user/groups udev requires? As opposed to adding them dynamically when the user actually installs the=20 software the uses said users/groups? Or even has the hardware? Case in point - my LDAP server has no need for the user/group tss other tha= n=20 the fact that udev requires it due to a rule that will never be applied. And you still think my base-system should be fixed? What happens down the = road when you next require user foo and group bar due to a rule which may o= r=20 may not be needed? I give up. It's hopeless. I just cannot convice you that it's better to be = slow than broken. --=20 Roy Marples Gentoo/Linux Developer (baselayout, networking) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
