+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #772745 +++ Description of problem: I need a user and group created for a package called wallaby. The user and the group should both be "wallaby", and the user should have a home directory of /var/lib/wallaby. These are used to own the wallaby service and data files. The wallaby package currently creates the group/account with: %pre getent group wallaby >/dev/null || groupadd -r wallaby getent passwd wallaby >/dev/null || \ useradd -r -g wallaby -d %{_localstatedir}/lib/wallaby -s /sbin/nologin \ -c "Owner of Wallaby service" wallaby exit 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Uidgid pair 181:181 reserved in Fedora Rawhide (setup-2.8.47-1.fc17), please modify your %pre section to match with these reserved uid/gid numbers. I do not plan to do an update of setup package in F15/F16 just for this, but it should be safe to use these numbers there - as dynamic system account creation starts above uidgid 200. Closing RAWHIDE.
