Hi,

the postinst of the sabayon package creates the sabayon-admin user and
groups, but not as systems groups. This is bad if non-system users and
groups are maintained centrally in the network, and a newly added real
group will get the same gid as sabayon-admin. I’m relatively sure that
this is a policy violation, but I haven’t looked that up.

Greetings and thanks,
Joachim
