No I'm linking the policy as it has all the relevant guidelines for
this situation along with specific example script samples and the
process that needs to be followed with FPC if not using dynamic
application and wanting a static assignment.
I believe that mongoDB has already acquired static GID and UID (184, per
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/setup.git/tree/uidgid#n151) but is
only using the UID, not GID---and this is what Marek proposed to fix. Am
I mistaken?
