From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20020812 Description of problem: I have multiple machines which share a NFS mountable filesystem. There are only up to two users created for each machine. Not all machines need all users. If I create on the main machine accounts for all users they get IDs 500 and up assigned. If on a second machine I only want to install one user the numbering starts again at 500. This is obviously fatal with a shared filesystem. Anaconda should allow to optionally assign user IDs to the newline created entries. By default Anaconda would assign nubmers (they could be shown in the forms) but the user should be able to have the last word. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to define a user with a specific UID/GID in anaconda. 2. 3. Actual Results: Not possible. Expected Results: Optional fields with UID and GID values in GUI. Additional info: Using NIS or LDAP is overkill. The users never change and there won't be any new ones.
Please create your users after you reboot using the redhat-config-users config tool.
That's ridiculous. Either you remove the functionality to define users from Anaconda or you fix it. As it is it's only causing problems.
