Package: adduser Version: 3.107 Severity: normal
If, for whatever reason, there's a system user having uid 999, adduser will look for a uid starting from 0 when a new system user is created. In most cases it will find a free uid between 0-99, which is allocated by the Debian project and for that reason not desirable. In stead of what seems to happen in reality, I would expect that adduser would try to look for a free system uid starting from 100 in stead of 0. It seems to ignore the value of FIRST_SYSTEM_UID in this process. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages adduser depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.21 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.1.1-1 change and administer password and ii perl-base 5.10.0-10 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis adduser recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
