Hi,
In our system build scripts we have this command:
/usr/sbin/pw -V $d useradd toor -u 0 -g 0 -d /root -s /bin/sh -c =
"Bourne-again Superuser" -g wheel -o
After 10.2-BETA1, the toor account is being added with UID 1001 instead =
of UID 0. This looks like a problem with line 754 in pw_user.c, which =
has this test:
/*
* Check the given uid, if any
*/
if (id > 0) {
uid =3D (uid_t) id;
if ((pwd =3D GETPWUID(uid)) !=3D NULL && =
conf.checkduplicate)
errx(EX_DATAERR, "uid `%u' has already been =
allocated", pwd->pw_uid);
} else {
struct bitmap bm;
The (id > 0) test should probably be (id >=3D 0) to allow =E2=80=9C-u =
0=E2=80=9D to be passed on the command line.
This change is from r285092 by bapt@. Was this change in behaviour =
intentional?
Regards,
Jan Mikkelsen
