This thread has information about all the users/groups. I was thinking of updating your document or making a new one, and having it put in some easy to find place. Maybe /etc/passwd and /etc/group man pages? Most people probably don't know what base-passwd is, or that they should look in /usr/share/doc/base-passwd (which would do them no good right now anyway). Some parts of it (or all) could also be in policy imho. Thanks, Norbert
