To allow better integration with distributions requiring an explicitly set gid for the `users` group, provide the new `-Dusers-gid` option to set to a new numeric value. In the absence of a specified gid, we'll fallback to the default existing behaviour of `-` as the gid value, to automatically assign the next available gid on the system.

I dropped your s-o-b because we don't use that. |
|
@keszybz ah fair do - will take note for future patches. Thanks! |
|
hmm, can you elaborate why distributions would fixate the "users" GID? |
|
@poettering same old story - they fixate now because it was fixated before. So in our case we're dealing with dual-boot systems that make the same stuff available via Samba user-shares, which are owned by the same gid (100/users). There are also other similar pooling cases where the gid becomes relevant. Unfortunately |
