I'd say that if useradd and groupadd can't work without /etc/passwd and /etc/group, then shadow-utils should require /etc/passwd and /etc/group (wouldn't a file Requires make more sense than a static package Requires?). It doesn't make sense to change a bunch of packages to require setup, since that could always change (and what a PITA that would be). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
