Re: [wlug] Debian user defaults.

Personally I prefer the uid==gid approach that RH uses. Is there a setting I can change on debian? I'm very new to debian so I have no idea where to look.

Edit /etc/adduser.conf and set USERGROUPS=yes Incidentally, this was the existing behaviour on both of my debian sarge and ubuntu hoary installations, and I'm fairly sure I didn't change it. There might have been a debconf question during the installation however. Or else there's a bug and that configuration file isn't being read properly.
