YaST will calculate the group ids. If you really need to have a specific GID, I think you have to use an init-script to change that value in the /etc/group file. We'll take a look into it why it's not possible to specify that in the autoyast profile. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de

GID is present in Export map only if it was changed (for some existing system group). It may have a sense to not export GID's of new'ly created group because they are usually not important and yast can easily generate new ones during autinstallation. This way we also avoid possible conflicts with GID's of new groups added by rpm's script during installation. But even in current version it should be possible to create a group with specific GID, which is defined in the profile (as "gid" or "gidnumber" value). -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
