I love seeing patches come across the mailing list again. :) (I'm not doing squat with them - literally just reading the subject lines in my email client - but it's still nice. Glad for them!)

/etc/passwd set the messagebus user's primary group to 1, but there was no group with that id in /etc/group. The messagebus group had id 4. The 4 comes from NixOS. I think it's probably a good idea to use the same user and group ids where possible -- there's no particular reason to diverge -- so let's fix it in /etc/passwd instead of changing the id in /etc/group to 1.

And while we're here, for consistency, let's change the user id of messagebus to 4 as well, so that's consistent with NixOS as well. I don't think the user ID is used anywhere else.

This fixes the DBus "Permission denied" errors that have been showing up in vm-net since forever (but never seemed to cause any real harm...). --- pkgs/os-specific/linux/spectrum/rootfs/etc/passwd | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
