Description tom 2021-07-01 14:24:11 UTC

Description of problem:
The node_exporter service fails to start successfully, as the node_exporter user and group are not created when this package is installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.1-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Reproduces every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install
2.
3.

Actual results:
The node_exporter service fails to start successfully.

Expected results:
The node_exporter service starts successfully.

Additional info:
The rpm spec is attempting to use systemd-sysusers to create the node_exporter user, and systemd-sysusers doesn't exist in centos 7.

Comment 1 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2021-07-02 09:52:48 UTC

This is strange, in centos 7, it is version 219 of systemd, and it does contain syususers and the sysusers_create macro.

Ha, it seems it is manually disabled in the SPEC of systemd, which sucks.

Bqck to shadow-utils them.

Thanks for your report. I'm taking care of it ASAP.
