Description Jan Kurik 2023-07-21 16:10:18 UTC 
Description of problem:
grafana user is missing home directory in /etc/passwd

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grafana-9.2.10-4.el8 and grafana-9.2.10-5.el8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On RHEL-8 Install grafana-9.2.10-4.el8 or grafana-9.2.10-5.el8
# yum install -y grafana
2. Check if the home directory of the grafana user is set in the /etc/passwd
# grep grafana /etc/passwd

Actual results:
# grep grafana /etc/passwd
grafana:x:991:991:Grafana user account:/:/sbin/nologin


Expected results:
# grep grafana /etc/passwd
grafana:x:994:991:grafana user account:/usr/share/grafana:/sbin/nologin

Additional info:
The problem is in the grafana.spec file in phase '%pre', where the systemd-sysusers command is not provided with the home directory.
