> Key: VCL-646
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-646
> Project: VCL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: vcld (backend)
> Affects Versions: 2.3
> Environment: Ubuntu 12.04 image, LDAP-derived user-ids
> Reporter: Nathaniel Sherry
> Assignee: Aaron Peeler
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: ubuntu, uid, vcld,
> Fix For: 2.3.3
>
>
> By default, when Ubuntu.pm creates user accounts in the 'reserve' function,
> it does not set the user id for the account. The user account would be
> created with uid 1000
> My work-around was to replace
> my $useradd_string = "/usr/sbin/useradd -d /home/$user_name -m -g admin
> $user_name";
> with
> my $user_uid = $self->data->get_user_uid();
> my $useradd_string = "/usr/sbin/useradd -d /home/$user_name -m -u $user_uid
> -g adm $user_name";
> Please note that these updated lines also contain a fix for the 'admin' group
> not existing, but rather the 'adm' group.
