Description of problem: The nfs-utils package fails to create the nfsnobody use Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nfs-utils-1.1.2-2.fc9 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install nfs-utils on a ppc (32 bit) machine 2. 3. Actual results: no error, no nfsnobody user Expected results: nfsnobody user Additional info: The problem is clear in the spec file: %define all_32bit_archs i386 i686 athlon This causes a 64bit -2 to be passed to useradd. Trying this on the command line: # /usr/sbin/useradd -l -c "Anonymous NFS User" -r -s /sbin/nologin -u 4294967294 -d /var/lib/nfs nfsnobody useradd: invalid numeric argument '4294967294' The error is hidden because the useradd output is redirected to /dev/null.
Looks like this is fixed in nfs-utils 1.1.2-4.
