Description Karsten Hopp 2006-08-10 08:23:01 UTC

Description of problem:
I found this in cron/anacron's logs:
/etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system:
chown: `beaglidx': invalid user

/etc/passwd has no entry for beaglidx

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
beagle-0.2.7-6
setup-2.5.53-1

Comment 1 Karsten Hopp 2006-08-10 08:28:18 UTC

As this was a fresh install there are more infos in install.log:
Installing beagle - 0.2.7-6.x86_64
warning: user beaglidx does not exist - using root
warning: user beaglidx does not exist - using root

This looks like a missing Requires(pre): shadow-utils as shadow-utils is installed
much later than beagle

Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2006-08-10 14:50:29 UTC

0.2.7-7 adds the prereq.

Comment 3 Alexander Larsson 2006-08-10 16:14:58 UTC

That didn't help. Seems to be a useradd bug:

/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 1000 blah
/usr/sbin/useradd -r -u 1000 -s /sbin/nologin -c "blah" -d / -g 1000 blah
useradd: unknown group 1000

This doesn't happen in fc5.

Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2006-08-10 16:20:23 UTC

Using -g blah gives:
useradd: "invalid numeric argument 'blah'

Note, the groupadd works. The problem is in useradd.

Comment 5 Wart 2006-08-10 23:37:00 UTC

For reference:  shadow-utils-4.0.17-4 in rawhide is affected by this bug.

Comment 6 Peter Vrabec 2006-08-11 11:00:20 UTC

fixed in shadow-utils-4.0.17-5
