#22 katello user (uid 182) is no longer used
Closed by ekohl. Opened by ekohl.

In the past a user katello was allocated the uid 182 but a few years ago (2016 I think with Katello 3.0) katello was transformed from a standalone project to a Foreman plugin. This means the katello user is no longer used.

I don't know the exact policies around this so I'm looking for advice on how to proceed.

Usually the assignment is not removed until the uid can exist around on supported systems. User is not created by setup package, so it can be marked obsolete in the uidgid file, marking this user id as a candidate for replacement in future, once there are no ids available.

Should I submit a PR to mark it obsolete then?

Edit: Looks like that's hard for me since I'm not a proven packager. I'd have to use the remote PR option and that looks complicated.

I think PR is not necessary, either me or Pavel can make the s/katello-common/obsolete/ in uidgid file.

This one can probably be closed given that we have https://pagure.io/setup/pull-request/27 now.
