Description Ľuboš Kardoš 2013-03-29 13:44:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
Create user "test" during installation. Anaconda for this user creates group "test" with GID 0, which conflicts with group "root" also with GID 0. So when you login with user "test", command "groups" prints that you belongs to group "root" instead of group "test".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F19-Alpha-TC3
anaconda-19.14

How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start an installation and proceed to the "CREATE USER" spoke.
2. Fill out the form and confirm: 
     Full name: test 
     Username: test 
     Make this user administrator: unchecked
     Require a password to use this account: checked
     Password: redhat
     Confirm password: redhat
3. Finish the installation.
  
Actual results:
After reboot to the newly installed system, you can see in /etc/group following:
root:x:0:
...
test:x:0:test

Expected results:
GID for group "root" and "test" must not be the same.

Comment 6 Chris Lumens 2013-04-01 20:01:17 UTC 
This might require work outside pykickstart - not sure yet.  At the least, pykickstart should be defaulting to None instead of 0.
