Description of problem: nfs-utils (1.0.9-54) does not change nfsnobody's primary group from 4294967294 to 65534 when the package is upgraded on 64Bit rhel 4/5. It changes the /etc/group entry to 65534 but does not change the user's gid in /etc/passwd. After an upgrade to nfs-utils-1.0.9-54: # grep nfsnobody /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/passwd:nfsnobody:x:65534:4294967294:Anonymous NFS User:/var/lib/nfs:/sbin/nologin /etc/group:nfsnobody:x:65534: From the scripts being run in the rpm: #rpm -qa --scripts nfs-utils ... <snip> # Using the 16-bit value of -2 for the nfsnobody uid and gid # Create nfsnobody gid as long as it does not already exist. cat /etc/group | cut -d':' -f 1 | grep --quiet nfsnobody 2>/dev/null if [ "$?" -eq 1 ]; then /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 65534 nfsnobody 2>/dev/null || : else /usr/sbin/groupmod -g 65534 nfsnobody 2>/dev/null || : fi # Create nfsnobody uid as long as it does not already exist. cat /etc/passwd | cut -d':' -f 1 | grep --quiet nfsnobody 2>/dev/null if [ "$?" -eq 1 ]; then /usr/sbin/useradd -l -c "Anonymous NFS User" -r -g 65534 \ -s /sbin/nologin -u 65534 -d /var/lib/nfs nfsnobody 2>/dev/null || : else /usr/sbin/usermod -u 65534 nfsnobody 2>/dev/null || : fi ... <snip> This correction should be made: /usr/sbin/usermod -u 65534 nfsnobody 2>/dev/null || : should be changed to this /usr/sbin/usermod -u 65534 -g 65534 nfsnobody 2>/dev/null || : Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): on rhel 4 and 5 64Bit architectures How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a previous version (any prior to 1.0.9-54?) of nfs-utils installed on 64Bit rhel 4/5 2. Upgrade nfs-utils Actual results: # grep nfsnobody /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/passwd:nfsnobody:x:65534:4294967294:Anonymous NFS User:/var/lib/nfs:/sbin/nologin /etc/group:nfsnobody:x:65534: Expected results: # grep nfsnobody /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/passwd:nfsnobody:x:65534:65534:Anonymous NFS User:/var/lib/nfs:/sbin/nologin /etc/group:nfsnobody:x:65534: Additional info: will provide if requested.

I believe this was fixed by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=710020 Try using the -60 nfs-utils
