[gentoo-user] gentoo in /etc/group

[james]

Hello,

A couple of week ago, I installed a system using 2006.1 Livecd

To day, I took a look at the /etc/group file and found 'gentoo'
listed in several groups, including wheel
(wheel audio cdrom usb users games) to be specific.
I do not remmeber this before. In fact
looking at several other systems, I do not see the word 'gentoo'
in any /etc/group file.

I'm thinking this must be a vestige of the liveCD 2006.1 install.

Can anyone confirm this? Is this a bug I should report?

curious,
James

Do you see the user in /etc/passwd?

Thanks,

Are there any users in this group? If not and if I were you I would
utilize the program "groupdel" and forget about the case. ;-)

Hi,

IMHO this is some cruft left from the 2006.1 install config (stage3).
After an install with livecd-2006.1 and some upgrades afterwards
grpck/grpconv complained about some redundant 'gentoo' entries - i let
it fix them, problem solved.
Just a hint here, haven't checked more.

Hello Rumen,

Yes, both systems I found this on were recently installed using the
2006.1 LiveCD. I could only get it to work using the 
least amount of choices, which is the canned stage 3 install.

I just wanted some confirmation.

Do you think I should file a bug report? or is this an obvious problem
that the devs are aware of?

Being an old fashion admin, I used vi to removed those errant
entries from the /etc/group file. I did use grpck and grpconv
to check and now they are fine.  Nice to know....

thanks,

James
