Description Karsten Hopp 2006-08-10 08:41:25 UTC

Description of problem:
I found this in crond's log:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: named:3 unknown user 'named'

This was a fresh install (x86_64) and install.log has these lines:
Installing bind - 30:9.3.2-34.fc6.x86_64
warning: user named does not exist - using root
warning: user named does not exist - using root
warning: user named does not exist - using root
Installing bind-config - 30:9.3.2-34.fc6.x86_64
/bin/chown: `named:named': invalid user
/bin/chown: `named:named': invalid user

According to install.log shadow-utils is already installed when bind gets
installed, so this should be ok.


Further checking shows that bind has Requires(pre): shadow-utils sinc March,
so I'm not sure what is going on here.

Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2006-08-11 08:20:54 UTC

We check the fresh install here and it looks fine:

install.log:

Installing initscripts-8.31.1-1.x86_64.
Installing bind-9.3.2-4.1.x86_64.
Installing vixie-cron-4.1-54.FC5.x86_64.

install.log.syslog:

<86>Aug 10 09:46:08 groupadd[1059]: new group: name=named, GID=25
<86>Aug 10 09:46:09 useradd[1060]: new user: name=named, UID=25, GID=25,
home=/var/named, shell=/sbin/nologin

and bind works fine....

Oops, you may be right because we updated from FC5 to rawhide..

Comment 3 Karsten Hopp 2006-08-11 08:46:52 UTC

I didn't check the specfile again, but could this be related to another bug I've
filed which points at a shadow-utils bug ?   That's bug #201991

Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2006-08-11 08:56:32 UTC

okay, I'll check this bug

Comment 5 Martin Stransky 2006-08-11 09:04:23 UTC

Yes, it looks like a dupe of Bug 201991, peter is working on it.
