So I'm trying it in a different way: say I'm a sysadmin and I
want to
have the same static UIDs and GIDs on all my systems for *all* Fedora
packages that create UIDs or GIDs during install. I need a list of
groupnames and usernames such packages might create to prepare a
modified setup package.
So we need to have a kind of list like this somewhere:
||package||groupname||username||
||clamav||clamavfoo||clamavbar||
||zaptel||zaptelfoo||zaptelbar||
Such a list exists already:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserRegistry
Additional requirements (full 'useradd' commandline, delay of 7-14 days
before pushing into repos) are given in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/UsersAndGroups?action=recal...
Using wrappers like 'fedora-usermgmt' will make life of admins easier
because they have to configure their system only once instead of updating
their 'setup' package regularly.
