I run a Fedora Server that has a number of system users defined in /etc/passwd
using useradd
, but how that sysusers.d is introduced and targeted for Fedora 32, I’d like to know: is it worth any of my effort to register the system accounts in this new format?
If I need to make a new system user, should I do it this way instead of using useradd
?
I kind of like this sysusers.d format and want to adopt it and give it a try, but I don’t know the point of it.
This is the change page. Hopefully that’ll explain things:
