Description of problem: There is an assumption on node codebase that a gear's uid = gid. This is highly dependent in system configuration and other packages that are installed. Eg. On F19 default MIN_GRP=1000. default MIN_UID in node.conf is 500. - When a gear is created - UID = 500 = GID = 1000 - homedir permission assumes uid=500, gid=500 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rubygem-openshift-origin-node-1.9.6-1 How reproducible: Always on F19 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with F19 origin installation with default /etc/login.defs 2. Create a gear Actual results: gear permission are incorrect as they refer to incorrect gid Expected results: Node code should create a new group and use the correct GID when creating the user. Gear permission are correct Additional info:
