Hi all.   I'm building a LiveCD based on kernel 2.6.20, busybox 1.6.0 and other tools that I need.   My first step was to build a basic LiveCD : a bootable CD using Grub, the kernel 2.6 and busybox.       With busybox 2.6.0 all work great EXCEPT a problem using user/group. The following commands don't work correctly :    # touch toto    # chgrp bin toto    chgrp: unknown group name: bin       But the grou bin exist in /etc/group :   # more /etc/group   root::0:root   bin::1:   rpm::2:      I've look around my config fils in /etc (/etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow and /etc/nsswitch.conf) but all seem ok !   Content is above :      # more /etc/group     root::0:root     bin::1:     rpm::2:        # more /etc/shadow     root:?????:12439:0:99999:7:::        # more /etc/passwd     root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash      I've tried with the recent 1.7.1 busybox and it seem to work (the chgrp work correctly).      BUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!      I've the RPM tool in my binaries (I don't use the busybox rpm version coz I need all option of RPM) and here, for a package that need group bin, RPM say me that group bin doesn't exist !!!!!!!!!!!!!   Damned !      # rpm -Uvh --nodeps expat-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm   warning: group bin doesn't exist  - using root          Anybody have an idea where I can look ?   It seem that the glue between the system and user and group config file doesn't work !       All ideas are welcome !!!!!!!!
