$ egrep '^(nobody|sshd):' /etc/passwd 
nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/var/nobody:/dev/null
sshd:x:109:117::/var/empty:/dev/null

(it's ALT Linux, Owl GNU/*/Linux does probably the same)

No, it won't.

AFAIR it was discussed ages ago with kloczek (hundreds-of-mails-thread)

$HOME of system users like nobody or stats

2010-03-25 Thread Paweł Zuzelski
mount.davfs (provided by davfs2 package) does not allow non-root
user to mount filesystem into another users home directory. Problem
is that home directory of nobody and stats users (both provided by
setup package) is "/".

I would like to change home directory of these users to
"/usr/share/empty". Will it break something?
