equivalent of "root" does not have uid = 0. So if you want to do it |
| 8 |
right, you probably use a variable or two that define for the host in |
| 9 |
use what/who the root user is. Much like we (the Prefix guys) already |

store in Portage who is supposed to be the "portage" user, and who is |

the "root" user, similar for their groups. |
