[Linux-HA] Question on creating new user/group when installing Heartbeat.

[Zachár Balázs]

Hello Peter!

There isn't any dependence on the uid or gid number.

Note:
Usually when I install heartbeat for a new system, I install and 
uninstall a heartbeat rpm and it is create the users and left it there 
after the unistall. After that I install the real heartbeat.

Reegards,

Balázs
