Description Rainer Größlinger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-15 05:39:46 UTC 
enewgroup() from eutils.eclass fails if there is a duplicate entry in /etc/group

Opening a new bug not related to an ebuild (like #36215), so it's easier to find and track for people now.

Assigned to vapier since he is the author of enewgroup() ;-)

fixed in cvs ... if a requested uid is already taken, then enewuser will default to next available
Comment 3 stephen white 2004-02-28 03:13:42 UTC 
What if the group or username already exists?
Comment 4 stephen white 2004-02-28 03:14:32 UTC 
More to the point, what if the username or group name already exists in LDAP and cannot be changed or altered by the local system?
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-02-28 12:52:40 UTC 
i really have no idea what you're talking about stephen ...

enew{user,group} have always exited if the username already exists on the system
