I really don't know. It was previously 82 (in my config.dat backup from
2006-02-22 01:07:52), and now UNKNOWN.
In the past, /etc/group contained:
users:x:82:
(I had this group number because the NIS setup here has another
group for gid 100), but now it contains:
users:x:100:
(it seems that another package has changed it to 100).

No, I didn't do anything.

I didn't have any question concerning the groupname.
