Package: libuuid1 Version: 1.41.3-1 Severity: wishlist short summary:
it is better to use "adduser --system ... libuid ..." instead of the complicated parsing of $ADDUSERCONF because adduser has the --system option so parsing /etc/adduser.conf is not necessary. as far as i have observed, there seems to be one difference thou: adduser seems to increment the uid step-by-step increment to find the next free one (thus filling gaps/holes) while useradd seems to search for the highest uid and increment this one. e.g. uid:name 120:sshd 121:cups 700:backup -> useradd will use 701 and adduser will use 122. cheers, raoul -- ____________________________________________________________________ DI (FH) Raoul Bhatia M.Sc. email.
