| Summary | 0002004: Upstream shifted starting UID / GID |
| Description | The starting UID in ClearOS 6 was set to 500 (shadow-utils) and 1000 (OpenLDAP). This allowed end users to create shadow user accounts in the 500-999 range. Typically, the use case was for developer accounts and hacking around. It was also inadvertently used by poorly done application install scripts (applications should be using sub-500 UIDs, 500+ is for users).
In ClearOS 7, the starting UID is now 1000 (shadow-utils). This means we need to bump the starting UID in LDAP to something higher (e.g. 2000). This has implications for upgrades, but it's a minority of users who have used the 500-1000 user range in ClearOS 6. I'm not sure how upstream handles this -- it's a bit messy!
Ditto for GID. |
