Public bug reported:
In Xenial, zabbix-agent installer generates zabbix user without valid
home dir (/nonexistent). This breaks RemoteCommands that need a
writeable homedir to complete:
e.g. I wrote a tiny script to count number of security upgrades waiting
(using aptitude). This works on all precise and trusty servers, but
failed on the new xenial install:
zabbix# zabbix_get -s webhostnew -k
'system.run[/usr/local/sbin/count_upgradeable,wait]'
E: /nonexistent/.aptitude - mkdir (2: No such file or directory)

Seting zabbix user homedir to /var/run/zabbix fixed the problem.
