Description

OK, this will be changed in the next RHEL-4 tog-pegasus version . A workaround would be to create the pegasus userid and group during installation with a different uid / gid, or to create the user / group you want to have UID 500 GID 500 before pegasus gets installed, during installation. You should in general not depend on specific numeric uids / gids always being available after installation. Note also that pegasus is optional; nothing else in the distro depends on it. Removing the package would also remove the pegasus user and group. This bug is now fixed with tog-pegasus-2.4.1-4.5.rhel4 . Moving to RHEL4U4Proposed as it is ON_QA. Clearing ACKs. How is this fixed? By adding "-r" to the groupadd command? This issue is on Red Hat Engineering's list of planned work items for the upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.4 release. Engineering resources have been assigned and barring unforeseen circumstances, Red Hat intends to include this item in the 4.4 release. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
