Subject: [PATCH] backup.pl: Create the new unbound user and group when doing a restore
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 18:55:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511165551.197587-1-adolf.belka@ipfire.org> (raw)
- With the introduction of the unbound user and group, when a restore is done from a
earlier backup when user and group nobody were used then the unbound user and group
are removed as passwd and group are backed up.
- Using the entry already present for the dhcpcd user and group I cre4ated this patch.
- Not 100% certain it is the correct way to do it, as I am not sure about if a restore
is done where the unbound user and group already exist but presumably the same effect
occurs with the dhcpcd user and group.
