Hi, all. I'm creating a ebuild and need to create user/group during it installation. As i create a package/ebuild for our company internal use, it useless to request uid/gid to be saved in uid-gid.txt. Also, i don't need a constant uid/gid, just want a user/group creation. This package will be installed on various machines and i don't want to track unused uid/gid from uid-gid.txt and also each of these machines. Any available is sufficient.
If i understand correctly, acct-user/acct-group doesn't allow me do this. And i must choose a constant uid/gid and pray that they willn't match existent ones on any machine, amn't it? If so, can i use 'enewuser ${PN} -1 -1 "${UHOME}" ${PN} > /dev/null' as usual? -- Олег Неманов (Oleg Nemanov)
