[Pkg-shadow-devel] newusers bug - creates negative UIDs and GIDs

[Michel Samia]

Hi,

We got a bug report to newusers, a part of shadow-4.0.17, which is a part of 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0. 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=306241)

I created a patch, which can be downloaded from our bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=237611).

The bug is still reproducible in 4.1.0. Unfortunately, this patch can't be 
applied to the current version of newusers. I would like to try to re-write 
it to fit with current version, but it will not be earlier than Fedora 9 will 
be released (lots of work on Fedora nowdays).

If you want to, you can fix it earlier...

with greetings,

Michel Samia <msamia at redhat.com>
