RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Jan Pazdziora 2023-06-28 14:20:55 UTC 
The %sysusers_create_compat in https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/389-ds-base/-/blob/c9s/389-ds-base.spec expands using /usr/lib/rpm/sysusers.generate-pre.sh from systemd-rpm-macros-252-15.el9.noarch. That code is different from the respective one in Fedora and does not understand the

  u     dirsrv   389:389

entry.
Comment 2 Jan Pazdziora 2023-06-29 07:42:16 UTC 
Note bug 2217149 which talks about sysusers.generate-pre.sh. It might make sense with the systemd maintainers about the correct approach / timing.
Comment 3 Viktor Ashirov 2023-08-03 14:12:45 UTC 
This is fixed in systemd-252-16.el9, but we need to rebuild 389-ds-base against the new systemd package to generate new script snippet.
Moving to POST to be picked up by the next build.

Would you like a new bugzilla for that?
Comment 10 Jan Pazdziora 2023-09-14 16:56:12 UTC 
Bugzilla no longer allows me to file bugzillas against RHEL 9, so I filed https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHELPLAN-167587.
