Caused by some rebase issues, fixed it now. By the way, the test in this PR need to ensure that there's no user with userid 500 on the system, maybe I can modify the userid in the prepare stage of CICD runners?

I don't think you need to configure the system, you can just avoid hardcoding 500 and instead use the first UID not in /etc/passwd.

I'm using a long script to get a uid not in /etc/passwd, so adding subprocess to use the Exec::shell method. cat /etc/passwd|cut -d ':' -f 3|grep '^1...$'|sort -n|tail -n 1|awk '{print $1+1}'
