[systemd-devel] systemd-sysusers does not create nobody user

[Sébastien Luttringer]

Hello,

It appears that the nobody user/group are not created by systemd-sysusers,
despite its definition in sysusers.d/basic.conf.
I guess nss_systemd is always providing answers for nobody user/group which
mislead systemd-sysusers.

# grep nobody /etc/passwd; echo $?
1
# getent passwd nobody
nobody:*:65534:65534:User Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin
# SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug systemd-sysusers /usr/lib/sysusers.d/basic.conf
Group nobody already exists.
User nobody already exists.

I guess the issue is the same for root user.
For reference, this come from this bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/
55589

A side effect, may segfault sshd. See: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55570

I tend to think that systemd-users should be able to start working with and
empty passwd/group.
What do you think is the correct way to fix these two? 

Cheers,


Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer

Many systemd developers only merge Git branches, not emailed patches, so
yours was automatically imported into a Git branch, from which Lennart made
a GitHub pull request.

The original pull-request had one commit authored by you. However, when
"squash" merge is used, GitHub appears to always use the PR submitter's
information in the final squashed commit. (I suppose it has to choose
*something*.)

Sorry about that; it seems that imported branches should be only merged in
full, not squashed.

Of course, a future-proof way to avoid this would be to open a GH pull
request yourself... (See the auto-reply from earlier.)
