+<title>Creating passwd and group files</title>
+
+<para>
+In order for user and group root to be recognized and to be able to logon 
+it needs an entry in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group file. Besides the
+group root a couple of other groups are recommended and needed by
+packages. The groups with their GID's below aren't part of any standard.
+The LSB only recommends besides a group root a group bin to be present
+with GID 1. Other group names and GID's can be chosen by yourself. Well
+written packages don't depend on GID numbers but just use the group
+name, it doesn't matter all that much what GID a group has. Since there
+aren't any standards for groups I won't follow any conventions used by
+Debian, RedHat and others. The groups added here are the groups the
+MAKEDEV script (the script that creates the device files in the /dev
+directory) mentions.
