Message-ID: <200407192302.42130.russell@coker.com.au> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 700 bytes --]

The attached patch fixes a bug in genhomedircon.

Without this if you create system users with "useradd -r" and give them home 
directories in unusual locations (such as /usr/DIR or /var/run/DIR) then a 
file_contexts file will be generated that will mess up your system.

This match makes it check /etc/login.defs for the value of UID_MIN.

Also perhaps we should make STARTING_UID default to 500.  500 is the default 
value for this in Fedora.
