Hmmm... by the way, the nagios.spec file has the same defect : it's
using "groupadd" whereas it's using "useradd -r" ... if this could also
be corrected...

Subject: [Nagios-devel] nrpe RPM spec file bug(s)
=20
Hi,
=20
In the nagios spec file, the nagios user is added with command which creates a system account + system group.
=20
In the nrpe spec file, there is first a standard groupadd on the Nagios
group, and then a useradd with the -r option for the user.
It looks to me that the first groupadd is then useless, isn't it ?
=20
By the way : when the groupadd is run, there's a grep on the hardcoded
"nagios" value, while just after the %{nsgrp} is used to add the group,
which is also a bug I think...
=20
Nevertheless, if the groupadd has to be kept, would it be possible to
use it also with the "-r" option ? This way, a system group would be
created.
This would avoid conflicts with standard users/groups, and this would
also make things more consistent.
=20
I can easily patch the spec file, but I'm using nrpe on a few hundred
machines, and I guess other people managing clusters may face the same
problem of GID conflicts that I just did, which could probably be easily
be avoided.... so here I'm sharing the problem and potential solution.
=20
Thanks for patching && regards && merry Christmas ! :]
