nogroup:x:65534: is GID which is used for httpd. Don't mess with it ;-). There are other sizty five thousand ids to choose from for sshd.

Hi,
I had the same problem coming from the 1001 ISO. At the time, I was working
closely with Dufflebunk to debug his version of sorcery and he suggested I
delete the offending group (65534) and try again. I did, the ssh spell
recreated the group and was able to create the user and everything was all
peachy!

I suppose I should've reported something, but we were so into the sorcery
stuff I guess I just forgot. :) Also, we weren't sure why that group existed
in the first place (ie: if it was actually being used by something else). I
must admit I've never thought twice about it since, so I guess not.

Hey all,
Just cast openssh after installing from ISO beta1. I believe it was intended to create the user seperation user ssh and put it in the sshd group.

The problem is that groupadd and useradd dont work. Here are the first 3 lines from my compile log for it:

----
Using gcc version: 3.2
groupadd: gid 65534 is not unique
useradd: unknown group sshd
----

It then goes on to build successfully.

However, at the end when it configures, it fails to load sshd with the error:

----
/usr/sbin/sshd -t -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Privilege separation user sshd does not exist
make: [check-config] Error 255 (ignored)
----

I am betting that either: a) the spell is configured to require the priv sep user/group, but doesnt use the sorcery function to set those up. or b) the spell uses the sorcery functions, and sorcery is broken.

Either way, this needs to be fixed before we go 1.0.

I have filed this bug as #1592 here: http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1592

In the meantime I will add the user and group myself. But the spell should really do this automatically.
