Ubuntu 的自动 UID 生成行为是什么?

我对生成新用户但未明确指定 UID 的情况感兴趣,Ubuntu 会自动分配 UID。我知道默认情况下 Ubuntu 会生成大于 1000 的 UID,但我想了解有关 ubuntu 的 UID 生成策略的所有信息。

这个问题的正确答案将澄清以下几点

  • 如果以下两个 UID 已被使用:1001、2001 - 那么下一个自动生成的 UID 是 1002 还是 2002?
  • 是否有最大 UID?如果某个帐户已被分配了最大 UID(但有其他空闲 UID),Ubuntu 会怎么做?

答案1

/etc/adduser.conf

# FIRST_SYSTEM_[GU]ID to LAST_SYSTEM_[GU]ID inclusive is the range for UIDs
# for dynamically allocated administrative and system accounts/groups.
# Please note that system software, such as the users allocated by the base-passwd
# package, may assume that UIDs less than 100 are unallocated.
FIRST_SYSTEM_UID=100
LAST_SYSTEM_UID=999

FIRST_SYSTEM_GID=100
LAST_SYSTEM_GID=999

# FIRST_[GU]ID to LAST_[GU]ID inclusive is the range of UIDs of dynamically
# allocated user accounts/groups.
FIRST_UID=1000
LAST_UID=29999

FIRST_GID=1000
LAST_GID=29999

$(type -p adduser)并且,阅读或处的 Perl 脚本/usr/sbin/adduser,我们发现这个函数:

 sub first_avail_uid {
    my ($min, $max) = @_;
    printf (gtx("Selecting UID from range %d to %d ...\n"),$min,$max) if ($verbose > 1);

    my $t = $min;
    while ($t <= $max) {
       return $t if (!defined(getpwuid($t)));
       $t++;
    }
    return -1; # nothing available
}

意思是:adduser选择 1000 到 29999 之间的第一个免费 UID,否则失败。

准确答案:1002,它会挑选一个免费的。

存在最大 UID,4294967295因为UIDs 是 32 位字段,但adduser使用下限。

然而,也有/usr/sbin/useradd 谨防 adduser并且useradd很容易互相混淆/输错。

man useradd告诉我:

DESCRIPTION
   useradd is a low level utility for adding users. On Debian,  
    administrators should usually use adduser(8) instead.

...  

   -u, --uid UID
       The numerical value of the user's ID. This value must be unique,
       unless the -o option is used. The value must be non-negative. The
       default is to use the smallest ID value greater than or equal to
       UID_MIN and greater than every other user.

       See also the -r option and the UID_MAX description.

...  

CONFIGURATION
   The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the
   behavior of this tool:

...  

   SYS_UID_MAX (number), SYS_UID_MIN (number)
       Range of user IDs used for the creation of system users by useradd
       or newusers.

       The default value for SYS_UID_MIN (resp.  SYS_UID_MAX) is 101
       (resp.  UID_MIN-1).

   UID_MAX (number), UID_MIN (number)
       Range of user IDs used for the creation of regular users by useradd
       or newusers.

       The default value for UID_MIN (resp.  UID_MAX) is 1000 (resp.
       60000).

我使用adduser而不是 的一个原因useradd是 可以--encrypt-home选择adduser。但是,可以通过使用任意 UID 编辑一堆文件、复制其他文件、创建目录等来替换其中任何一个(为什么,在过去,我……)。adduser或并没有什么神奇之处useradd
