Ack. But: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
# find /usr/portage -name '*ebuild' | \ |
| 17 |
xargs grep -h 'useradd .*-u'| sort -u | wc |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
counts 19 packages. |
| 20 |
|

How can I prevent from grabbing a fixed uid of an another (not yet |
| 22 |
installed) package when using the correct useradd (without -u) in my |
| 23 |
ebuild? |
