I recently had a /dev/null homedir problem for media-sound/mpd{,-svn}
|
| 10 |
package[1]. Clearly, user mpd needs a non-null homedir. As for other daemon
|
| 11 |
users, I guess it should be handled on a per-user basis - some daemon users
|
| 12 |
most likely don't need the homedir, but need to have something specified
|
| 13 |
in /etc/passwd, thus /dev/null.
