BTW,
I think this may be related to this subject, so...
I've found some user account (other than nobody)
that have /var/empty as their home directory, f.e.:
gnu/services/networking.scm:301
(define %ntp-accounts
(list (user-account
(name "ntpd")
(group "nogroup")
(system? #t)
(comment "NTP daemon user")
(home-directory "/var/empty")
(shell #~(string-append #$shadow "/sbin/nologin")))))
Is that a glitch, and they can be moved to /nonexistent or do
they really require an existing directory to work ?
