Hi all!
Just wanted to use this thread to get a general opinion on what should be
in the ISO /etc/passwd and /etc/group. We have a minimum at [0], but static
/dev or udev already wants a few groups not in there. However, I'd kindof
like to keep the lists minimal. Why would you want to have a MySQL user if you
never had it installed?

This is the current contents of my p4 section:
==passwd==
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:x:1:1::/dev/null:/bin/false
nobody:x:65534:65534::/dev/null:/bin/false
==group==
root:x:0:
bin:x:1:
tty:x:10:
sys:x:11:
kmem:x:12:
ppp:x:13:
lp:x:14:
floppy:x:15:
disk:x:16:
audio:x:17:
users:x:100:
nogroup:x:65534:
==EOF==
Comments?
So Far,
Karsten
