probably be in favor of adding a GID-1000 group. I don't think any of the
groups that we have would be right for this setting, except *possibly*
nogroup.
If we just sed it out, we get
{{{
root in chroot ~# useradd fubar
useradd: unknown GID 100
}}}
and the last line of /etc/group is now
{{{
fubar:x:1000:
}}}
This is partly coming from useradd.c, but I'm unsure how it generated 1000
in that case :
{{{
/*
* Global variables
*/
/*
* These defaults are used if there is no defaults file.
*/
static gid_t def_group = 100;
static const char *def_gname = "other";
static const char *def_home = "/home";
static const char *def_shell = "";
static const char *def_template = SKEL_DIR;
static const char *def_create_mail_spool = "no";
}}}
I could live with a group of 1000, called 'users', unless anybody objects.
And don't you love the way trac formatted what should have been code (for
the sed) in the quote ?
