IMHO, a 'dh_user' would produce automatically the code I introduced in the Developer's reference, so that maintainers just need to add: dh_user $SERVER_USER $SERVER_GROUP $SERVER_$NAME $SERVER_HOME to their debian/rules' binary target and it would 'automagically' add the proper code to postinst/preinst and (optionally) to postrm. No new functionality to adduser, just generates the maintainer code preventing others from reinventing the wheel when they have a need for a (dynamic) system user. It could even add automatically generated code to the init.d script to check for the user/group (although there are no hooks currently for that) Regards Javier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
