Hi all,
I have many users which are required by daemons like e.g. log, cache,
dnscache, etc. Now most of these users don't need a home directory and a
shell. I can always but the shell as false or true (which is
recommended???) but what do do for home directories? I don't want
clustered directories like logs, dnscache etc in /home. Right now I am
keeping all thee kind of users home directories as /home/.notrequired.
So, I add the user as,
# adduser -s /bin/false -h /home/.notrequired log

Is this approach ok or can someone suggest some other solution (posibly
elegant) solution?
