Package: passwd Version: 1:4.1.1-6 Severity: normal As far as I can see, when looking for the next available user id, useradd does: - take max user id + 1 - if id > 60000 then start from 1000 and search for gaps - repeat
So if all user ids from 1000 to 60000 are taken, useradd is in an infinite loop. Admittedly not a common case, but I guess it needs to return an error in that case. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (300, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-vserver-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages passwd depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.9-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 1.0.1-5+lenny1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 1.0.1-5+lenny1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 2.0.65-5 SELinux shared libraries passwd recommends no packages. passwd suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
