Description Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-07-31 13:32:28 UTC

Boa currently "ships" in Gentoo with a default user/group of nobody/nogroup.
However, baselayout's /etc/groups no longer contains nogroup, and Boa will fail
to start. nobody *is* the right group to use, but what should boa do?

The current version is 0.94.13.

There is still a nogroup, only the gid changed from negative to possitive ..
same if converted to unsigned.

Jon, can we close this one ?

Comment 3 Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-08-07 13:37:46 UTC

I think so.
I'll re-open if necessary (but only if necessary).

Thanks!

Sorry, I should have closed this myself.
