Re: [gentoo-user] NEW idea: Kernel panics and more info

I think I typed in something wrong and sort of made a mess of it.  I had 
to copy a backup file for group and passwd to get things working again.  
Here is what I have right now:

What I would like to do is get rid of things that shouldn't be there.  
It appears I have a group or two that shouldn't exist.  I guess anyway.  
I know about groupdel but want to make sure before I actually do 
anything AGAIN.  When I did this a few minutes ago, kdm would let me 
login until I restored group and passwd.

Should I have a group called dale and dale2?  Those are my users.  dale 
is my main account and dale2 is for when I need to test a clean account.

Does anyone see anything else that needs fixin here?

Thanks much.

Dale
