Subject: [gentoo-dev] gid 212 for cmd5checkpw
Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2019 11:43:33
Message-Id: 14307715.prUNpBLtSh@daneel.sf-tec.de
1 Currently cmd5checkpw has a user of the same name at uid 212, but no group.
2 The user owns the password database, and the binary is setuid to that user. I
3 would like to change both to use a special group instead, so the user is not
4 able to modify the files anymore. Since noone uses gid 212 I think it would be
5 a good fit.
