ChangeLog:

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
a/etc-12.1-noarch-1.tgz:  Added "tape" group.

a/etc-13.013-i486-1.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Removed root from several groups in /etc/group where the group is only used
  for root-owned files anyway.  Updated /etc/services.
