Weird problem with UID n F7

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I did a clean install of F7 expecting to be able to copy back user
info to /etc/passwd, and related files, for users with files in a
pre-existing partition.

However I find there is a line already in /etc/passwd with
tclhttpd:x:500:500:Tclhttpd:/var/www/tclhttpd:/bin/false

For some years I have had user UIDs starting at 500 but this will
conflict with the lines already in passwd, group etc....

Does anyone else see this or am I unique with this issue?

Also on firstboot there is a message complaining that thttpd has
unknown user... I am puzzled.

I was so puzzled I did a complete clean re-install and it was exactly
the same - the install was using a HD install referencing the DVD iso
on one of the partitions. The install seemed to work fine but the
issues above arose immediately after install and before doing any
configuring at all.

The first time round I had not realised there was already a UID set up
for 500 and this caused problems once I put additional lines back to
give the user logins.

Any suggestions?

Mike
