Hello All,

I vote for leaving the passwd/group files alone, I manage them myself 
across several machines with scripts, without yellow pages and I do not 
recall Slackware messing with them before.

Warnings and instructions on how to create users/groups printed on the 
screen at installpkg time or in init scripts are OK although.

When possible, I create users for daemons even if they are not required, I 
also run them chroot when possible. Named (BIND) is a good example so 
the current behaviour is fine with me.
