Hello, I was searching for UID of irc user (some time ago I've seen such user exists); now I can't find it. adding of irc package runs adduser --system which is nice but I don't prefer that method (some UIDs were already allocated for some users sometie ago, why not to use them?).
dpkg -S /etc/passwd tells /etc/passwd belongs to no package (very nice...) Now, please don't advise just get one free number; if you can respond - why doesn't /etc/passwd belong to any package ? - why was user 'irc' removed ? - is it safe to create user with uid 39 that was used for irc some time ago? - why does ircd package create user irc then ? -- Matus "fantomas" Uhlar, sysadmin at NEXTRA, Slovakia; IRCNET admin of *.sk [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ ; http://www.nextra.sk/ If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
