Bug#464165: postgresql-7.4: pg hardcoded uid 101?

[deb...@foss.daxal.com]

Package: postgresql-7.4
Version: 1:7.4.19-0etch1
Followup-For: Bug #464165

I had a uid of 101 in use already when pg was installed (I changed them
around). Now this issue is no longer present, but I'm unable to isolate
where uid 101 is used at. In my opinion, there should be a different
way to handle this, esp on install.

Thank you,

Scott Edwards

Hello Scott,

Do you have some details about this? How can this be reproduced?

postgresql packages don't hardcode any user ID (except root's "0", of
course), and the permissions on /var/run/postgresql/ are correct; in
fact, postgres:postgres drwxrwsr-x is the default.

Do you use NIS, AD, LDAP, or any other nonstandard/network user/group
database?

Thanks,

Martin

This did not get any answer or further information in the last three
months, and is unreproducible. Thus I am closing this report now.

Please respond if you have any further information about the problem,
and thank you for your report!
