System setup

Create users and groups

The best for some services setup is to create users and groups with the same numbers as you use on the desktop. Use program id on your desktop to obtain UID and GID.

For example, runnig id on my desktop returns: 
uid=1000(petr) gid=1000(petr) skupiny=20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),44(video),46(plugdev),111(netdev),115(powerdev),1000(petr)

That means I have to create group petr with GID 1000: 
addgroup --gid 1000 petr

And than user petr with UID 1000 in group petr: 
adduser --uid 1000 --gid 1000 petr

Repeat this for all your users.
