[gentoo-dev] [RFC] Reserve slurm user and group uid/gid 500/500

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 114 bytes --]

Hi!

I'd like to reserve slurm user and group for sys-cluster/slurm. I plan to use 
old uid/gid for it (500/500)

I think we are trying to avoid using 500 too 999 for the time being.
Can you pick another number lower than 500?

If your package uses that directory, I would recommend you not rely on
it being created (with special permissions) as a side effect of
installing the acct-user package:

https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/fc55ac57cd92d9c1e156d13c882b08cf

That used to be acceptable, since the "enewuser" command with the home
directory was part of the package that used that directory. But now that
the user data are in another package, we can't depend on them reliably.

...and why is that, exactly?  Are you assuming that someone will take
over the dedicated user for another purpose and change its home
directory?

uid/gid 500 was used for historical reasons. So i can change it to other uid/
gid like 300 or 400

I'll check if it will work for me.

The fact that the home directory can change is a feature that you
yourself went out of the way to support. We can't rely on the value of
ACCT_USER_HOME in a dependency, and nothing is gained by doing so -- so
why do it? That's one reason.

It also greatly simplifies the guidelines. Have you ever refactored
something and had it just feel right? This just feels right. I think
most developers don't care about these details and would just like to
get the job done. If we can give them a list of a few simple guidelines
to follow, then everyone's happy.

If we put the keepdir/fowners/fperms in the logically-correct place, it
allows us to also say: don't use a home directory owned by another
package (use the default). That in turn prevents acct-user packages from
clobbering the permissions and ownership on stuff that belongs to
somebody else. All pros, no cons.

Please do. Either of them should be available.

Since 500/500 is reserved uid/gid then i'll proceed with 400|400
