Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mysql-server-3.23.58-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL WS (we did it via PXE from Kickstart, shouldn't matter) 2. rpm -Uhv mysql-server (from kickstart %post, again shouldn't matter) 3. cat /etc/group | grep mysql Actual Results: grep result is null Expected Results: grep should return 'mysql:x:27:' (i.e., mysql group should be created) Additional info:
Problem was detected to be site-specific. We've subsequently confirmed the RPM works as intended.
