The openvpn group is added using the 'groupadd -r openvpn' command
I don't understand how that ever allocated gid 107, unless you had
shadow-utils-4.1.2-13.fc11 installed at some point because it should
normally allocate a gid closer to 107.
In any case, the version of shadow-utils just built today will never
allocate gids in the 100-200 range.
The qemu group is added using 'groupadd -g 107 -r qemu' because it has
had gid 107 reserved for it. See the uidgid file in the setup RPM.
Cheers,
Mark.
