I cant see where /etc/passwd is copied into to $LTSNFSPATH. I can only see the one from the fillup-templates. 2. Even then, rpm (which is called by zypper in the first stage) is still running outside the chroot. So every file created by rpm uses the uids/gids from outside the chroot. On the other hand, when rpm calls e.g. getent or useradd, it is executed inside the chroot, and takes the information it finds there. 3. permissions module: This works only for the files explicitly listed there 4. Everything is fine as long as the uids inside the chroot match the ones from outside - you just won't notice the difference. Most probably bootstrapping the BS instances and kiwi images is similar enough to get the same uids. This really is a bug in rpm which misbehaves when called with "--root". I filed this bug against kiwi as I originally thought it is kiwis fault. But as kiwi is affected, I think this bug should stay open until it is fixed for real. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
