Description G.Wolfe Woodbury 2007-11-18 09:54:14 UTC
Description of problem:
 The bsd-games packages creates three groups and occupies the first few gid's
that should be assigned to the first few uid's. That is, bsd-games uses gid's
500 (gamehack)  501 (gamesail) and  502 (gamephant).  These gid's should be
reserved for the first few uid's.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 bsd-games-2.17-21.fc8

How reproducible:
 Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install bsd-games
  
Actual results:
  gid's 500, 501 and 502 are assigned


Expected results:
  gid's should be allocated from the system reserve below 500

Additional info:
  none required

Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2007-11-22 03:31:08 UTC
bsd-games-2.17-22.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update bsd-games'

Comment 2 Wart 2007-11-22 03:37:18 UTC
Note that this update will only affect new installs.  If bsd-games has already
created groups with the offending gids, then it won't recreate them with new gids.
