Since still nobody could give me a reason why every user should have his own group (or can you?) i prefer setting USERGROUPS=no in /etc/adduser.conf
experimenting with remastering grml i found out that there are some places with a "chmod grml.grml <dir>"
( /etc/grml/autoconfig.functions, /etc/init.d/grml-home )
I think by changing this to "chmod grml: <dir>" we would support both ways. Well, and since i would like it that way, i'm requesting that little change :)

Well, I assume you mean "chown grml.grml <dir>". ;)

But that would break permissions.
Suggestion: I could check for UID 1000 and GUID 1000 and run "chmod $USER_WITH_ID_1000:$GROUP_WITH_ID_1000" instead (already done that way in some code where it's not live-cd only). This would be less static without breaking any permissions. However you name your $USER_WITH_ID_1000 and $GROUP_WITH_ID_1000 - it would work then for you too. Ok?

Uh, no i don't think so, it does exactely the same. I tested it, and "chown user: <dir>" always did also change the group to the users main group. (notice the difference between "chown user <dir>" and "chown user: <dir>")
Anyway, it's only a minor issue. Right now i'm fighting with grml-x and the shutdown process... and hotplugable devices.

Oh, that's cool! I wasn't aware of this feature, of course I'll use it then! :-) Thanks!
