Debian should be consulted about this issue, to see if they have particular druthers regarding the addition of the user, or if they'd prefer to see this issue fixed some other way (or left as-is for users to configure themselves). That way we can continue to avoid having a ubuntu delta for this package.

Nov 28 11:11:39 controller-dc1r02n01 Keepalived_vrrp[24982]: (external): track script pingable_check_script not found, ignoring... None of the check scripts are getting executed because the keepalived_script user doesn't exist on the system, and in any case, the haproxy_check_script (which is "/bin/kill -0 `cat /var/run/haproxy.pid`") needs to run as root. The keepalived.conf man page says that "If [script_user] is not specified, the user defaults to keepalived_script if that user exists, otherwise root", but it doesn't seem to fallback to root in this case (maybe because of enable_script_security, but it's only supposed to prevent scripts from running as root if part of the path is writable by non-root, which isn't the case here). Anyway, setting keepalived_global_defs: - enable_script_security - script_user root in user_variables.yml fixes the issue: root@controller-dc1r02n01:~# journalctl -eu keepalived.service Nov 30 09:07:13 controller-dc1r02n01 systemd[1]: Starting Keepalive Daemon (LVS and VRRP)...
