Debian /etc/groups
I am trying to put some debian boxes in at work and one problem I keep
running into when setting them up is that Debian's selection of groups and
users is different than the NIS maps being passwd around. This results in
ownership of files and directoried changing when NIS is started.
For example, here is a comparison of a Debian HAMM system and a Solaris
2.6 installation.
0 root root
1 daemon other <<--different
2 bin bin
3 sys sys
4 adm adm
5 tty uucp <<--different
6 disk mail <<--different
7 lp tty <<--different
8 mail lp <<--different
9 news nouucp <<--different
10 uucp staff <<--different
11
12 daemon <<--different
13 proxy
14 sysadmin
15 kmem
...
50 staff
The ones that particularly bite are staff/uucp, mail/lp
Are there any plans to make things a little more standard so that Linux
can more easilly exist in an NIS/Automount environment?
