Description of problem: As a part of ovirt-engine development, we need a specific user and group in Fedora in order to setup the ovirt-engine agent properly. Expected results: 1. user / group name: ovirt / ovirt 2. home directory: /home/ovirt
I see ovirt group and user already registered in setup uidgid file... Is there some kind of modification required? Note: "/" or something under "/var/" dir is better option for home directory of system accounts. They should not be in "/home/" See setup changelog: * Tue Sep 08 2009 Ondrej Vasik <ovasik> 2.8.9-1 - reserve uidgid pair 108:108 for ovirt from libvirt (#513261) ...
Please note that the safest way is something like: getent group ovirt > /dev/null || /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 108 -r ovirt getent passwd ovirt > /dev/null || /usr/sbin/useradd -r -u 108 -g ovirt \ -c "ovirt user" -d / -s /sbin/nologin ovirt
> in order to setup the ovirt-engine agent properly By "ovirt-engine agent" you mean VDSM (rhev management agent on host) or something else? There's already "vdsm" user reserved.
Closing worksforme as this pair was already reserved...
