What is the "egid"? Do you mean "GUID"?

Ahhh, I thought that might be the answer! Thanks for that.
I must say, LOTS of stuff in the LPIC Prep Kit 101 that I'm using to
prepare for this exam is misleading. Even some of the stuff is
CONTRADICTORY, or just plain WRONG (according to what I know and
practice on my linux console screen). The practice test is even worse,
this is a small example of the wierd questions they have, then some
questions are graded incorrectly!
