#1231 [RFE] Check for UID/GID uniqueness, add --force flag to override
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago by rcritten. Opened 12 years ago by rcritten.

Enhancement request from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698240

Make default behavior to enforce UID/GID uniqueness but add --force option to override.


We decided to doc this #1183.[[BR]]

There might be some helper tools developed later.[[BR]]

Deferring for now.

This was converted into a documentation bug and resolved. From the BZ:

The basic situation is that the DNA Plug-in makes sure that all server assigned UID/GID numbers are unique, because it assigns a discrete range to each server or replica and then numbers are assigned sequentially. So, there's no overlap and no duplication. However, the DNA Plug-in doesn't enforce numbers that are manually assigned, so the duplicate situation can occur.

Basically we do the right thing by default. Doing things manually is dangerous and should be done carefully.
