Package: libnss-extrausers Version: 0.2-3 Severity: normal
libnss-extrausers tries to prevent "accidental" overwriting of "system users" by checking whether uid or gid are below 500. Not only is there a mismatch with both Debian policy (reserving 0-999+60000-64999+65534 for system accounts), but also with local system policy (as set in /etc/adduser.conf). This breaks in the quite common (though not default) case of USERGROUPS=no, USERS_GID=100 (i.e. primary group of all regular users is users = GID 100), making the package useless. Please a) remove the GID check for passwd entries or at least special-case GID 100 and b) add a way to disable these checks altogether (config file, second library, ... I don't care). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing') Architecture: armel (armv5tel) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-rc4-flatty-ocf-1-00019-g8b6ae29 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libnss-extrausers depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries libnss-extrausers recommends no packages. libnss-extrausers suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
