If it helps, this is what I have: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
root@fireball / # cat /etc/group | grep root |
| 32 |
root::0:root |
| 33 |
bin::1:root,bin,daemon |
| 34 |
daemon::2:root,bin,daemon |
| 35 |
sys::3:root,bin,adm |
| 36 |
adm::4:root,adm,daemon |
| 37 |
disk::6:root,adm |
| 38 |
wheel::10:root,dale2,dale |
| 39 |
floppy::11:root,dale |
| 40 |
dialout::20:root,dale,dale2 |
| 41 |
tape::26:root |
| 42 |
video::27:root,dale,dale2,sddm |
| 43 |
root@fireball / # |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Looking at the whole file, not everything mentions root, most don't |
| 47 |
actually. |
