Maybe you missed the fact that the person installed 2 other packages that both referred to the wheel group in their configurations (pam.d/su and sudo), but neither pulled in the package to create the group as a dependency. In this case, if the group is explicitly referred to in a package's default configuration yet the group is not created either by that package or through a dependency, are we not creating a system that is "broken" (at least as far as that package is concerned) by default? What flow-on problems would it cause if sudo and/or pam had system-group-wheel as a dependency instead of a Recommended package? Or should the default configurations for sudo/pam be changed to NOT refer to the wheel group? -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au CCNA #CSCO12880208 ==============================================================
