[ptxdist] group ids

[Erwin Rol]

Hallo,

how is the group id management in ptxdist suppose to work? The *.make
files all seem to use numeric values.

Is there any mechanism to see which GID's (and UID's) are used for what?
And how to decide which ID's to use for new users/groups?

We usually look at how debian is doing it :)

Marc has changed this behaviour longer time ago to also support names instead 
of numeric values only.

AFAIR PTXdist uses the provided /etc/passwd and /etc/group to map the UID/GID 
names from the rules files to numerical values (but I'm not sure).
