Package: adduser
Version: 3.99
Severity: minor
When calling e.g.
adduser --no-create-home --home /afs/path/to/home --uid 40003 johndoe
adduser gives me the warning message:
Warning: The home dir you specified does not exist.
This is wrong in my case. The specified directory DOES exists, but the
root user does not have access to its parent dir, as opposed to normal
users with sufficient AFS access permissions.
I suggest to add a check to adduser whether it can access the parent
dir, and if not, output a different warning message, such as
Warning: Unable to access parent directory of specified home dir.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Alexander
