I haven't seen any comments on this RFC yet. Does anyone have any opinion either way on the code referenced here? I'm confident patch 01/02 should be added to master. The patch 02/02 works properly in all of my testing and does implement support for 'deterministic uid/gid' with dynamic passwd/group file construction during package install. The code is only activated if USERADD_REWRITE_PARAMS is set to '1', so it's low risk -- but it does add a fairly large chunk of code to be maintained over time. --Mark On 12/10/13, 12:31 PM, Mark Hatle wrote: > The following series implements the deterministic uid/gid setting for a > distribution.
