retitle 668757 netdisco-{back,front}end: creates system user in /home
thanksHi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package creates a system user with a home directory in /home/$SYSUSER, which is a policy violation. The FHS (which is part of the policy) states: "/home : User home directories (optional)" "/home is a fairly standard concept, but it is clearly a site-specific filesystem. The setup will differ from host to host. Therefore, no program should rely on this location." http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/fhs-2.3.html#HOMEUSERHOMEDIRECTORIES System users are usually placed in /var/lib. Possible problems that can arise in case /home is a remote file system: * the local root user may not be allowed to write to /home * $SYSUSER may have different UIDs on different hosts cheers, Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
