Public bug reported: The User and Groups module's uid parameter does not take effect unless you specify its value as a string.
I do not know if this is a code defect or if it is working as designed. If it is working as designed, it would be nice if the documentation were updated to note that uid should be set as a string instead of an integer. This line of code in the base distro class only appends the key-val to the useradd command args if the val is a string: https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/d95b448fe106146b7510f7b64f2e83c51943f04d/cloudinit/distros/__init__.py#L488 ** Affects: cloud-init Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
