Description of problem: Minor niggle! Package 'setup' installs a basic /etc/passwd file, populated with common system/daemon user entries, but does not provide all their home directories. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Historical through rawhide. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Minimal install. 2. Log in. 3. run pwck Actual results: user 'ftp': directory '/var/ftp' does not exist Expected results: No errors or warnings. Additional info: May need to check FTP server packages to check if any claim /var/ftp or create the user account themselves. Either the ftp account should be removed from the passwd file (https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/setup.git/tree/passwd) or the directory should be created and owned by the setup package.
A quick check of FTP server packages (vsftp and proftp): They expect the UID (ftp) to exist and install/claim /var/ftp. e.g. %{_var}/ftp or %dir %{_localstatedir}/ftp/ using default attributes (0755 root:root). So, removing the UID from the setup passwd file would require changes in all FTP server packages. Please consider adding directory /var/ftp to the package. --Dave G.
I would prefer this directory owned by filesystem package (I maintain this one as well, so it is more cosmetic thing). All of the other home directories for accounts owned by setup are created by this package.
Built as filesystem-3.2-36.fc24 in rawhide.
