That is ok with me - I was hoping to find a listing of static uids without grepping cvs manually, aiming to find a safe gap below 500 that OLPC could use for its deployments. As much as possible I want to have static IDs on OLPC XS deployments to have max consistency across XSs in the same region. A minor package-installation-order difference should not lead to different IDs. Now, that practice will make OLPC packages unacceptable to Fedora proper - this is more important to me. However, using fedora-usermgmt seemed like a way to satisfy both. If it's blackballed from Fedora, then I'm back to square one. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
