Bug 1221042

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1220846 +++

Please assign a static UID/GID for ceph (this was approved by the FPC at https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/524). The user and group names can simply be "ceph".

It would be ideal if we could have the same numeric UID on RHEL 5/6/7 as on Fedora.

Thanks for the ticket and bz.
RHEL 5 is not possible, I can't make static reservation above 100 there and there are no free slots under 100. Should be safe to use static ID from RHEL6/7 there, though.

Any prefered homedir? (can be just / or /var/ceph ...)
What package will "own" that user creation?
I'll set /sbin/nologin as user shell, if there are no objections.

Once the information is provided, I'll assign some id to ceph in next Rawhide setup build.

Thanks Ondřej, it's fine to skip RHEL 5. RHEL 6 and 7 will be great.

Preferred homedir: /var/lib/ceph
Package that will "own" the UID: "ceph"
No objections to /sbin/nologin.

> Package that will "own" the UID: "ceph"

Sage pointed out to me that the actual binary RPM is "ceph-common" (which comes from the "ceph" SRPM). Not sure what you want to put into https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/setup.git/tree/uidgid for that.

ceph	167	167	/var/lib/ceph		/sbin/nologin	ceph-common

Entry added to https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/setup.git/tree/uidgid and built in Rawhide. 
I'm going to clone this into RHEL 6/7 - but feel free to start with using it there even if the bz is not yet resolved (it is just documentation and I expect to get this fixed in next minor RHEL update through fastrack). Built as setup-2.9.8-1.fc23 - closing Rawhide.
