--- Begin Message --------BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: adduser Version: 3.113 Severity: wishlist Please set the defaults FIRST_SYSTEM_UID=1 FIRST_SYSTEM_GID=1 in /etc/adduser.conf to avoid conflicts in existing environments when running debian-installer. Using debian installer the current defaults for FIRST_SYSTEM_UID and FIRST_SYSTEM_GID produce conflicts with existing "real" accounts managed in a historically grown NIS environment. The first system UIDs and GIDs >100 are allocated before you have a chance to edit /etc/adduser.conf or to start NIS, while most UIDs<100 and GIDs<100 would be free to use. In historically grown environments network wide accounts with UIDs and GIDs <1000 are not uncommon. Good old SunOS 4.x reserved just UIDs and GIDs <100 for system usage, for example.

My recommendation to address the issue mentioned in this bug report is to not have the Installer create a user account, change adduser.conf in the installed system and to proceed from there. The rationale for the original request was a newly installed machine connecting to a historically grown NIS environment; the people running such an environment are surely able to live without ONE user account created in the Installer. Greetings Marc
