It's a little more dev-related anyway. I just merged the new baselayout package, and I have one question: The new /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow files have some different id numbers for different accounts, and one that I added myself (postdrop) is now included, but with a different id than I used. Should I make an effort to change to these new ids, or it not matter? That is, do ebuilds assume certain a uid or gid when installing a package? Thanks, Will Rogers wjr@wam.umd.edu
