Description Charles R. Anderson 2004-10-14 20:21:23 UTC
Description of problem:

authd's postinstall script creats an ident user and group without
specifying the statically assigned uid/gid values that are documented
in /usr/share/doc/setup-*/uidgid and have been used in the past for
this account with the old pidentd package.  This causes a dynamic
value to be assigned which will be different on new installs vs.
upgrades.  The postinstall script should be changed to specify the
98/98 values documented in uidgid.

postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/usr/sbin/adduser -s /sbin/nologin -r ident 2>/dev/null || true

/etc/passwd:
ident:x:100:101::/home/ident:/sbin/nologin

/etc/group:
ident:x:101:

/usr/share/doc/setup-*/uidgid:
ident           98      98      /                       /sbin/nologin
ident

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
