[firstboot] Get UID_MIN from /etc/login.defs (#717113)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Get the UID_MIN value from /etc/login.defs and use it to
determine proper user id number, instead of hardcoded 500.

Use 500 if the /etc/login.defs parsing fails.
