Public bug reported:
Application: /usr/sbin/useradd
Doing:
THE_ID=70000
THE_NAME=aaaaa
groupadd --gid $THE_ID $THE_NAME
useradd --uid $THE_ID --gid $THE_ID --home-dir /home/$THE_NAME --create-home
$THE_NAME
is working fine, but when specifying a --root, the provided --gid is not
checked in the group file in the --root folder. Steps:
BASE_FOLDER=$(mktemp -d)
cd $BASE_FOLDER
THE_ID=70000
THE_NAME=aaaaa
mkdir etc home
touch etc/group etc/passwd etc/shadow
groupadd --root $BASE_FOLDER --gid $THE_ID $THE_NAME
useradd --root $BASE_FOLDER --uid $THE_ID --gid $THE_ID --home-dir
/home/$THE_NAME --create-home $THE_NAME
Getting error
useradd: group '70000' does not exist
checking the group file, the group exists:
grep aaaaa $BASE_FOLDER/etc/group
aaaaa:x:70000:
