You might like to use https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/user-setup.git/tree/reserved-usernames as part of this; d-i and ubiquity both use that as a way of saying "you can't use that username because it'll conflict with well-known system users". It doubtless won't be complete (it doesn't currently contain avahi, for instance), but it should be a useful starting point. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- Snapcraft mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft
