 Everything appears normal
 
 ===[root] /home/mdharnois # cat /etc/passwd | grep gdm
 gdm:*:71:32000:gdm:/dev/null:/nonexistent
 ===[root] /home/mdharnois # cat /etc/group | grep gdm
 gdm:*:32000:
 ===[root] /home/mdharnois # ls -l /usr/X11R6/share/gnome | grep gdm
 drwxr-x---    2 gdm   gdm      512 Jan 16 17:38 gdm
 
 
 but then I get this, which is pretty curious. Something here is assuming
 that it knows what numeric uid and gid is assigned to gdm.
 
 
 ===[root] /home/mdharnois # ls -l /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdm
