I looked up the spec file at http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/EL-5/beanstalkd/beanstalkd.spec?revision=1.5&view=markup On line 64 the useradd should use the -g flag to add the user to the group that was just created. The line would end up looking like this: %{_sbindir}/useradd -r -m -c "beanstalkd user" -s /bin/false \ -d %{beanstalkd_home} -g %{beanstalkd_gropu} %{beanstalkd_user} 2>/dev/null || :
Yup, I just had this happen to me today too. It looks like the machine I tested the install on already had a beanstalkd user in it. I'll be fixing it tomorrow and pushing through the new package ASAP.
