Hello, Bacula package already has a registered user group of 33 in: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserRegistry so I will keep on using that; no change. The spec file always contained that uid/gid in the build. What I will change is just the way it is created, and the link Tom sent is exactly the one I was looking at. I found fedora-usermgmt already in place in the spec file so I thought it was right to ask. Thank you very much, --Simone On 19 December 2011 20:07, Toshio Kuratomi <a.badger@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 06:15:40PM +0100, Simone Caronni wrote: >> >> After a day of frustration I looked at other packages spec files that >> define uid/gid <100, and I saw that many of them don't use >> fedora-usermgmt at all (i.e. NetworkManager-openconnect): >> > Also, please do not use a uid/gid below 100. > > If you do need a static uid defined in the spec file (but please read the > link spot gave for other ways to achieve most of the same things) we'll > need to talk about what numbers are not used and who you need to talk to to > get it assigned. > > -Toshio -- You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore (R.
