Severity: Severe
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Userspace
A couple of packages are creating groups in the "user" range when they should in fact be creating "system" groups.
For example, proftpd and cronie:
GROUPADD_PARAM_${PN} = "${FTPGROUP}"
./meta-networking/recipes-daemons/proftpd/proftpd_1.3.4b.bb
GROUPADD_PARAM_${PN} = "crontab"
./oe-core/meta/recipes-extended/cronie/cronie_1.4.8.bb
They should use the --system option, something like this:
GROUPADD_PARAM_${PN} = "--system ${FTPGROUP}"
The customer noticed this with cronie, I also saw it with proftpd, there may be others.
