9177.0. "changed root groupid to system ?" by BIS1::brodhcp1-160.bro.dec.com::WorkBenchUser () Fri Mar 14 1997 05:42

hi,

I have a conceptual problem a customer noticed and that I can't explain.
The root login in the file /etc/passwd has uid 0 and gid 1 (=daemon).
When root logs in and performs a 'id' command it states that his groupid is 
1. Nevertheless, when he creates a file (or whatever) he sees that the group 
has changed in 'system'. 
In the /etc/group the root login is no part of group daemon but of group 
system. How do I explain this change of group to the customer ?

see you,
