Sounds like you're confusing when things run. Those sections are executed at build time, on the build host, not at install time. To create at install time, you want them in the scripts, most likely in the %pre script. Might want to add some protection too (e.g. check that the user/group don't already exist) _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
