Passwd/Group changes status v3.
Well, I fixed the non-controversial stuff:
o Removed the ftp entry in /etc/group and /etc/passwd
Should we keep these entries pre-allocated anyways for wu-ftp
install ?
o Added UID and GID for list and irc.
o Removed unnecessary additional GIDs.
Remains:
o Majordomo problem:
Still waiting for someone to confirm that the following change is
harmless. Otherwise, rex will roll out with the bug:
/etc/passwd:
majordom:*:30:30:majordomo:/var/majordomo:/bin/sh
/etc/group:
majordom:*:31:majordom
To become:
/etc/passwd:
majordom:*:30:31:majordomo:/usr/lib/majordomo:/bin/sh
/etc/group:
majordom:*:31:
o Qmail controversy:
What do you think Christian about using ``adduser -uid 6500{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}'' ?
What should we do if adduser fails ?
o Gnats doubt:
Brian C. White <bcwhite@verisim.com> wants to have its current UID for gnats to be changed so that it matches a newly allocated GID for gnats.
That raises the same problem that my previous proposal to roll out rex with static uids in the 0-99 range for Qmail and change them later on with bo.
Please send some feedback...
Phil.
