[02095ae] | 208 | <para>The created groups are not part of any standard—they are groups |

| 209 | decided on in part by the requirements of the Udev configuration in this |

| 210 | chapter, and in part by common convention employed by a number of existing |
---|
| 211 | Linux distributions. The Linux Standard Base (LSB, available at <ulink |
---|
| 212 | url="http://www.linuxbase.org"/>) recommends only that, besides the group |
---|
| 213 | <systemitem class="groupname">root</systemitem> with a Group ID (GID) of 0, |
---|
| 214 | a group <systemitem class="groupname">bin</systemitem> with a GID of 1 be |
---|
| 215 | present. All other group names and GIDs can be chosen freely by the system |
