All, In the past with arch installs, new users have always been added to the 'users' group. Now that is not being done. If I recall correctly, I have always specified that users are members of a group with the same name as the user by manually creating the group and using the useradd -g <group> option. This was done to keep UID and GID numbers the same across multiple boxes. On older installs all users were made part of the users group: (July 2011 install) [08:31 nirvana:/etc/httpd/conf] # grep users /etc/group users:x:100:david,anna,blah,blah,blah (New install) [08:45 phoinix:/etc] # grep users /etc/group users:x:100: Is this expected behavior, or has something gone wrong with the install? I ask because https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cron#Users_and_autostart suggest that all users should already be members of the 'users' group. I don't mind manually adding the users, but if this is a bug, I'll report it. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
