This patch should solve negative UIDs and GIDs and also adds some tests of input data
Here is patch. Uses some features used adduser.c to avoid adding users out of
range <500; 60000>, so now you can have daemons with UID or GID 2^16 or 2^32 or
similar.
Michel, did you tried to push the patch upstream (as far as exists, can't find more than Debian's QA page)? http://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/ It would be great to push it upstream guys. Cool, thanks Peter, I thought it's already dead. Michel, if you succeed pushing it upstream I'll do you QA-check for free then. The upstream mailing list is kinda vital, do you know it's fixed in latest (4.1.1-rc1)? ftp://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/pub/pkg-shadow/snapshot/ Might be worth to insert a bug in their BTS in case it's unfixed upstream. I sent info about this bug into the shadow mailing list... The problem with this patch is, that it can't be applied to the current version, it needs to be re-written to fit with the current version http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-shadow-devel/2008-April/006478.html Great! They have fixed it in 4.1.1 (quite differently than my patch - they shared more code with adduser). It which will be released today. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-shadow-devel/2008-April/006479.html Michal, you can check it now. Nice, it's fixed upstream but I guess the patch in this BZ should be in future obsoleted by backported one. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?". An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2010-0209.html |
