[zfs-discuss] change uid/god below 100
Hi. Only indirectly related to zfs. I need to test diskusage/performance on zfs shared via nfs. I have installed nevada b64a. Historically uid/gid for user www has been 16/16 but when I try to add uid/gid www via smc with the value 16 I'm not allowed to do so. I'm coming from a FreeBSD backgroup. Here I alter uid using vipw and edit /etc/group afterwards. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentlest gamester is the soonest winner.

Works now. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentlest gamester is the soonest winner.

Why not use the already assigned webservd/webserved 80/80 uid/gid pair ? Note that ALL uid and gid values below 100 are explicitly reserved for use by the operating system itself and should not be used by end admins. This is why smc failed to make the change. -- Darren J Moffat ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Why not use the already assigned webservd/webserved 80/80 uid/gid pair ? As mentioed there are historical reasons. User- and groupd-id 16 was default in an older release of RedHat (5.2??), a few years before I became sysadmin. Now we have some 80 TB of data (images) and changing uid/gid has to be planned carefully since I probably need to take the partition off-line before I do a chown -R. Note that ALL uid and gid values below 100 are explicitly reserved for use by the operating system itself and should not be used by end admins. This is why smc failed to make the change. FreeBSD defaults to 80 for user www as well. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentlest gamester is the soonest winner.
