sysusers is a very simple thingy which sists on a diferent shelf than gumd. It's primary purpose is to enable management of system users, gumd's on the other hand (if I understand correctly) is for humans. sysusers' particular advantage is its "interface" for package maintainers: a drop-in directory. As a maintainer I can put a file in /usr/lib/sysusers.d/ and (hope) the package manager (and systemd during boot) will fire appropriate triggers. The benefit is: a single instance of code (less bugs) works on simple declartive config files. I'd rather we used sysusers for system users management because I expect upstream projects, sooner or later, will do it too. -- Łukasz Stelmach Samsung R&D Institute Poland Samsung Electronics
