A few remaining bugs in testing/util-linux at the moment:
- shadow needs to be a dep - uuidd user's home is wrong
These will be fixed in a -4 I'm rolling up. Note that testing users who have uuidd's home in /home/uuidd will want to fix this by simply running:
usermod -d / uuidd
One last bug about hwclock [1] is still outstanding, but I'm not able to reproduce it. I'm still unconvinced of whether it's a legit bug in hwclock or just something we need to fix in initscripts, but I've forwarded the bug onto the util-linux ML to see if I can get input from elsewhere.
Cheers, Dave
Shouldn't uuidd user have the same uid/gid on all systems?
greetings tpowa
Not really important. It's used for creating /run/uuidd and running the daemon. Whether this is picked by the system or some curated number that we pick makes little difference -- we won't be shipping around files that are owned by this user.
In my opinion the fixed uid/gid would be better for the consistency sake (ie. it's done with others too), but I don't believe this alone justifies rebuilding package with just this fix. BTW: the FS#31416 got somehow fixed by enabling hwclock daemon for one boot (see comment at the bug report). I think util-linux -4 is good-to-go after the rc.sysinig is fixed for the new hwclock behaviour. Have a nice day, Lukas
