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.

Description Peter Vrabec 2010-05-20 14:41:49 UTC
Description of problem:
Please fix user/group creation in your spec file[1]. There were problems when
(UID != GID) && (UID<200) [2]. For example:
tryitd:x:194:482:TryIt:/:/sbin/nologin

Problem was caused by change/fix of shadow-utis behaviour. useradd does not
create group with same GID as user's UID for IDs < 200 (static/reserved) unless
it's done this way:

getent group qemu >/dev/null || groupadd -g 107 -r qemu
getent passwd qemu >/dev/null || \
  useradd -r -u 107 -g qemu -G kvm -d / -s /sbin/nologin \
    -c "qemu user" qemu


This issue should be fixed as soon as possible. Note, it can't be resolved by
any update once we have RHEL6 GA. Please fix it in Fedora too. thnx.

Comment 1 Steve Dickson 2010-05-25 19:59:24 UTC
Why is this an nfs-utils issue?

Comment 3 Peter Vrabec 2010-07-21 09:45:30 UTC
I see that rpcuser with UID 29 is created in nfs-utils.spec

/usr/sbin/useradd -l -c "RPC Service User" -r \
        -s /sbin/nologin -u 29 -d /var/lib/nfs rpcuser 2>/dev/null || :

according to /usr/share/doc/setup-*/uidgid, there should be also group with same GID created as well. Unfortunately the group is not being created according the packaging guidance.

The goal is to create rpcuser(user/group) in same way as nfsnobody.

verified on i386 and x86_64 without problem:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
