Package: ldapscripts
Version: 1.9.0-1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
the starting UID is defined in /etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.conf
UIDSTART="10000"
when creating a user, like
ldapadduser wrohrm Lehrer
the user gets the uid 65535.
I tried to find the reason and found in usr/share/ldapscripts/runtime:
# Output : the last user id used + 1 (so the first useable user id) ($_UID)
_findlastuser () {
_UID=`_ldapsearch "$SUFFIX" '(objectClass=posixAccount)' uidNumber |
grep "uidNumber: " | sed "s|uidNumber: ||" | uniq | sort -n | tail -n 1`
if [ -z "$_UID" ] || [ ! "$_UID" -gt "$UIDSTART" ]
then
_UID="$UIDSTART"
fi
_UID=`expr "$_UID" + 1`
}
this explains what happend, because
getent passwd
shows
nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh
this seems a conceptional problem. Suggestion: What about using
ranges like /etc/adduser.conf does?
FIRST_UID=1000
LAST_UID=29999
probably the same problem arises with group id's.
greetings
