Package: passwd Version: 1:4.2-3 File: /etc/login.defs Hi!
The man page of `login.defs` says that the default value for these parameters are: * SUB_UID_COUNT == 10000 * SUB_GID_COUNT == 10000 Sadly, this is not the case. By default it seems to be "65536", which is the default Ubuntu value. This can be tested on any system by looking at `/etc/subuid` or `/etc/subgid`: $ cat /etc/subgid systemd-timesync:100000:65536 systemd-network:165536:65536 systemd-resolve:231072:65536 systemd-bus-proxy:296608:65536 _apt:362144:65536 rdnssd:427680:65536 messagebus:493216:65536 avahi-autoipd:558752:65536 avahi:624288:65536 colord:689824:65536 dnsmasq:755360:65536 geoclue:820896:65536 pulse:886432:65536 lightdm:951968:65536 rtkit:1017504:65536 saned:1083040:65536 usbmux:1148576:65536 Debian-gdm:1214112:65536 hplip:1279648:65536 I guess that when merging the patches for `subuid` and `subgid` from Ubuntu (#739981), default values were not reset. I'm no expert here, but it seems you have two choices: 1) Change the man page 2) Change the default value to comply with the man page Choosing to do 2) could have unforeseen consequences though. Anyway, thanks for taking care of this package! -- pollo
