Hi All,
A long time ago, there was a thread regarding UID/GID registration (see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2009-05/msg00221.html). AFAICT the question "how can one register a static UID/GID in the 0-99 range" wasn't answered.
Does anyone know if there are still any spare UIDs in the range 0-99? Someone told me there weren't but I thought I'd better raise this here, just in case there are. And if there are any available, how do I reserve one?
Context: the ceph project wants to reserve a UID/GID - being a distributed storage cluster, it's best if the UID/GIDs remain static across the whole cluster, and the most straightforward way to do this is to hardcode a UID/GID in a useradd/groupadd invocation in the rpm %pre script.
(Pardon the cross-post, I picked what I hope are the two most suitable lists - happy to drop one or the other, or ask elsewhere as appropriate)
I've just been advised that opensuse-factory might be a better list than opensuse-project for the above question.
