After ELevate, nobody has UID:99, new user nsfnobody
After ELevate, nobody has UID:99, new user nsfnobody
Hello. I just managed to ELevate successfully (I think, until now :) from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8. Seems ok, but on an email received from my VPS provider with some instructions, is mentioned "The nobody user may not switch from UID 99 to UID 65534 after upgrading".
I checked, the nobody UID and GID exists, with ID:99 both.
I tried to change the UID of nobody by "usermod -u 65534 nobody" but received message saying that UID already exist.
I checked and indeed, UID:65534 is for user nfsnobody.
What should I do now ? Can I leave it as is (nobody user & group having ID:99 and nfsnobody user & group having ID:65534) ? What will be the consequences ?
It seems that trying to make this change is not possible, as long as 65534 is alreay taken.
thank you !
