           Summary: NUT - upsd user created with wrong group
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: suse+build@xxxxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx
                CC: christophe.dr@xxxxxxx
          Found By: Customer


There is an error in the packaging of NUT. In the 'configure' commandline
options, the user and group are set to:

        --with-user==%{USER}\
        --with-group=uucp

But the user that is added is not a member of the 'uucp' group, see below:

%pre
usr/sbin/useradd -r -o -g daemon -s /bin/false \
  -c "UPS daemon" -d /sbin %USER 2>/dev/null || :

This doesn't work for devices that require udev rules to change the ownership
of the port where they are attached to (ie, USB devices).

Proposed change is to run configure with

        --with-group=daemon

since this doesn't require older installations (where the 'upsd' user already
exists) to change the group of said user.
