Package: tor Version: 0.2.9.11-1~deb9u1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
it seems that when using Tor multi-instance systemd service, the username of an instance defaults to _tor-<instance-name>. This is hardcoded in the systemd unit [email protected] as follows: ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/install -Z -m 02755 -o _tor-%i -g _tor-%i -d /var/run/tor-instances/%i However, the default username policy for adduser (/etc/adduser.conf) forbids usernames to start with an underscore. One could use useradd instead, but in my specific case I'm using saltstack, which fails to create the user. Also, starting usernames with an underscore seems quite unusual. Thank you for considering this. Regards, Sven. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages tor depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii init-system-helpers 1.48 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.21-stable-3 ii libseccomp2 2.3.1-2.1 ii libssl1.1 1.1.0f-3 ii libsystemd0 232-25+deb9u1 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages tor recommends: ii logrotate 3.11.0-0.1 ii tor-geoipdb 0.2.9.11-1~deb9u1 ii torsocks 2.2.0-1 Versions of packages tor suggests: pn apparmor-utils <none> pn mixmaster <none> pn obfs4proxy <none> pn obfsproxy <none> pn socat <none> ii tor-arm 1.4.5.0-1.1 pn torbrowser-launcher <none> -- no debconf information
