package users and nALFS: define package id in users tag

Categories:

The other option Iwas left with is to use use numeric uid in <users></users>. But can it take the syntax <users>uid:gid</users> because without gid, it is going to be a mess unless taken care of. or is it going to default to the uid value for gid too? I have to experiment and find out. unless some one can help me here.

Another thing I can do is (in case it won't take the gid) set the gid while cleaning up with something like find / -uid $UID -exec chgrp $GID {} and take extra care to set gid before making any suids.

Even that wouldn't work.

It gives the same error:
cannot find user"10000"

With these small pieces I understand that you're doing something on LFS?

Good, and good luck to you.
