[Pkg-shadow-devel] packaging next 4.1.3

[Peter Vrabec]

Hi folks,

I have packaged next 4.1.3 and made some clean up with patches. Everything 
seems to be OK, but I have two patches that could upstream consider for 
inclusion. 

selinux.patch: add -Z option to map selinux user for user's login
sysAccount.patch: it changes the way how free IDs for new !system accounts! 
are fount. We are not looking for largest unused value, but we go down from 
UID_MAX and find first unused value. 
You ask why? Because there are some apprehensions that we probably run out of 
static IDs. I'm not fan of static IDs but what can I do. The space between 
0-100 is almost full and I suppose that there will be a time when we start 
assigning static IDs over 100. To avoid any collision with already installed 
system we decided to assign "dynamic" system IDs from the other side. We want 
to create the gap between static and dynamic IDs , so if we run out of 100 
free slots we can easily change the limits.

Peter.
