When I installed fc5-devel on my x86_64, hsqldb %post created an 
ordinary user - as opposed to a system one with uid below 500 - 
which screwed up my NFS mounts as "wriede" is 500 on all my other 
systems. 


install.log:Installing hsqldb-1.80.1-1jpp_1fc.x86_64.
install.log.syslog:<86>Oct 15 17:18:19 groupadd[4985]: new group: name=hsqldb,
GID=500
install.log.syslog:<86>Oct 15 17:18:19 useradd[4986]: new user: name=hsqldb,
UID=500, GID=500, home=/var/lib/hsqldb, shell=/bin/sh


I also noted that a skeleton was created in /var/lib/hsqldb:

-rw-r--r--   1 hsqldb hsqldb  658 Oct 15 17:18 .zshrc


I don't think all that's appropriate. Comments?

Thanks, Willem Riede.
