That was me, based on the observation that (a) there is a need for statically assigned system uid's beyond the 100 reserved by LSB (b) the LSB does not provide for such a range. What fedora-usergmt tries to address is the exhaustion of a shared resource (statically assignable uid's) ... the only way to fix this reliably is to provide for more statically assignable uid's. Enrico is doing that by leaving it up to the sysadmin to find a 'safe' range for those uid's, I would prefer if we could clearly state what we want there and have that codefied in a standard (or at least, on a Wiki page) This would also take the burden off the sysadmin to worry about safe static uid ranges (which in itself is a fairly arcane topic) David -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
