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.

Prior to this update, the aforementioned UID/GID pairs were not reserved by the setup package so that other packages or system administrators could have accidentally assigned those values to other users and groups.

Description Jan-Frode Myklebust 2011-06-22 11:45:32 UTC

The Apache Traffic Server (ATS) includes configuration management functions over a cluster of nodes, and needs to have the same uid/gid number on all nodes. We're in the process of packaging ATS for Fedora and EPEL (#683463), and would like to have a number that woun't conflict with other packages.

Username:   ats
Grooupname: ats
UID:        175   (or whatever is available next)
GID:        175   (or whatever is available next)
homedir:    /
shell:      /sbin/nologin
package:    trafficserver

Comment 2 Ondrej Vasik 2011-06-22 12:38:35 UTC

175 is taken by rhevagent, so probably 176:176, but will confirm the exact registred uidgid pair once built in Fedora Rawhide.

Comment 3 Jan-Frode Myklebust 2011-06-22 20:24:41 UTC

Great, thanks!

Will await your final numbers before we finalize the trafficserver package.

Comment 5 Ondrej Vasik 2011-06-29 14:59:25 UTC

Reserved 176:176 uidgid pair in Fedora Rawhide - setup-2.8.35-1.fc16.
