 bin
 HELP: No files on my system are owned by user or group
 bin. What good are they? Historically they were probably
 the owners of binaries in /bin? It is not mentioned in
 the FHS, Debian Policy, or the changelogs of base-passwd
 or base-files.
 LSB 1.3 lists bin as legacy, and says: "The 'bin'
 UID/GID is included for compatibility with legacy
 applications. New applications should no longer use the
 'bin' UID/GID."

ChangeLog

Tue Apr 1 02:41:32 CDT 2008
a/etc-12.1-noarch-4.tgz: Give the mysql user a /bin/false "shell".
 Thanks to Noel for the suggestion.
+--------------------------+
Fri Mar 28 23:35:22 CDT 2008
a/etc-12.1-noarch-3.tgz: Installed root into the audio, cdrom, video, plugdev,
 and floppy groups _correctly_. This was noticed by a lot of people -- sorry
 for the bogus entries in there before. I don't know how I managed that.
 (easily ;-)
+--------------------------+
Wed Mar 26 00:21:34 CDT 2008
a/etc-12.1-noarch-2.tgz: Add root to the groups audio, cdrom, video, plugdev, 
 and floppy. Root already has access to most of these devices, but it doesn't
 hurt to provide an example for people who edit /etc/groups manually.
+--------------------------+
Tue Oct 16 14:51:30 CDT 2007
