I don't think either fedora-usermgmt or https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/UsersAndGroups are what you want. You want a truly static uid/gid rather than a site-specified mapping. I think that has traditionally fallen to the owner of the setup package to decide. I don't know if we want to change that... comments anyone?2008/8/7 Axel Thimm <Axel.Thimm@xxxxxxxxxx>:I would strongly recommend against it. IIRC correctly the tool was even banned from EPELThanks for the heads up.I think the right way to do this is to see the different needs between the general Fedora space and OLPC: Fedora wants to reserve as few as possible *static* uids/gids (e.g. officially stamped onto every Fedora system) because this resource is rather sparse.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.
