Issue #4990 has been updated by Todd Zullinger.
Sorry for losing track of this bug. For Fedora/EPEL, it would not be acceptable to create users/groups using anything other than the defined uid/gid. To do so means we'd potentially step on other packages and introduce spurious problems. I believe that the best solution for folks who don't want to use the default uid/gid assignments is to create the puppet user/group prior to installation. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4990: Update RPM SPEC file to use new UID if current User ID is in use https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4990 Author: Chuck Schweizer Status: Needs design decision Priority: Low Assignee: Todd Zullinger Category: installation Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: The following is very rough code of what would work for my environment. I would like this because UID/GID may already be taken by another application and I want the puppet user to still be created. --- puppet.spec.old 2010-10-12 11:20:43.000000000 -0500 +++ puppet.spec 2010-10-12 11:20:54.000000000 -0500 @@ -182,9 +182,26 @@ # Fixed uid/gid were assigned in bz 472073 (Fedora), 471918 (RHEL-5), # and 471919 (RHEL-4) %pre -getent group puppet &>/dev/null || groupadd -r puppet -g 52 &>/dev/null +DEFAULT_PUPPETID=52 +NEXT_ID=0 + +if getent group $DEFAULT_PUPPETID &>/dev/null || getent passwd $DEFAULT_PUPPETID &>/dev/null;then + ID_SCAN=$DEFAULT_PUPPETID + while (( NEXT_ID == 0 )) ;do + if getent group $ID_SCAN &>/dev/null || getent passwd $ID_SCAN &>/dev/null;then + (( ID_SCAN = ID_SCAN + 1 )) + else + NEXT_ID=$ID_SCAN + break + fi + done +else + NEXT_ID=$DEFAULT_PUPPETID +fi + +getent group puppet &>/dev/null || groupadd -r puppet -g $NEXT_ID &>/dev/null getent passwd puppet &>/dev/null || \ -useradd -r -u 52 -g puppet -d %{_localstatedir}/lib/puppet -s /sbin/nologin \ +useradd -r -u $NEXT_ID -g puppet -d %{_localstatedir}/lib/puppet -s /sbin/nologin \ -c "Puppet" puppet &>/dev/null || : # ensure that old setups have the right puppet home dir if [ $1 -gt 1 ] ; then -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
