5 To day, I took a look at the /etc/group file and found 'gentoo'
6 listed in several groups, including wheel
7 (wheel audio cdrom usb users games) to be specific.

9 I'm thinking this must be a vestige of the liveCD 2006.1 install.
10 Can anyone confirm this? Is this a bug I should report?

19 Hello Rumen,
20
21 Yes, both systems I found this on were recently installed using the
22 2006.1 LiveCD. I could only get it to work using the
23 least amount of choices, which is the canned stage 3 install.
24
25 I just wanted some confirmation.
26
27 Do you think I should file a bug report? or is this an obvious problem
28 that the devs are aware of?

30 Being an old fashion admin, I used vi to removed those errant
31 entries from the /etc/group file. I did use grpck and grpconv
32 to check and now they are fine. Nice to know....

34 thanks,
