I have a similar problem, which would be solved by taking these groups
into the system files passwd/group:

I have the user database distributed
over NIS and when devfsd is started, he does not know the groups audio/...
because NIS does not run at this time. So I must restart devfsd in
rc.local after the system is in networked mode. If these groups were in
each crux system, my problem is solved!

My two suggestions:

- Some groups for hardware ressources: audio, scanner, cdburner,...
- Some accounts for network daemons: bind, www, ssh, ...
