Re: [arch-general] Policykit, uid like a service, and gid like a user

I noticed after installing policykit that it created a new user and group (both called policykit).  The thing that surprised me was the uid was 102 while the uid was 1001.  Should a system service like that really have a uid below 1000 (like other service accounts) and a gid above 1000 (which is what users are given).

Looks to me like it might be a bug, but thought I'd get some input on it before raising my first bug against an Arch package :-)

Probably the install script should use: "groupadd --system policykit" in the install script. -- damjan
