Description of problem: The default /etc/passwd includes accounts 'adm', 'uucp' and 'gopher' with home directories that are not included in the package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): setup-2.8.28-2.fc14.noarch (Still in git HEAD) How reproducible: +++ # uname -r ⏎ 2.6.35.14-103.fc14.x86_64 # pwck⏎ user 'adm': directory '/var/adm' does not exist user 'uucp': directory '/var/spool/uucp' does not exist user 'gopher': directory '/var/gopher' does not exist pwck: no changes # yum whatprovides '/var/adm'⏎ No Matches found # yum whatprovides '/var/spool/uucp'⏎ uucp-1.07-23.fc14.x86_64 : A set of utilities for operations between systems Repo : fedora Matched from: Filename : /var/spool/uucp # yum whatprovides '/var/gopher'⏎ No Matches found --- Additional info: Please consider including the various home directories in the base installation package set (filesystem?) or move user account creation to the relevant service packages. Just trying to reduce the background noise from system integrity checks.
Thanks for the report, I'll check these accounts and the reasons why they should be created by default. If this is really necessary, than filesystem package should create these dirs...
Directories for system accounts from setup now owned and created by filesystem package ( /var/spool/uucp directory ownership dropped from uucp package , homedir in /usr/share/doc/setup-*/uidgid file for gopher changed to /var/gopher to match with /etc/passwd) . Fixed in setup-2.8.43-1.fc17 , closing Rawhide.
