_znc is a perfectly valid username, it's just discouraged because some libraries make bad assumptions about what characters are valid in a username. This shouldn't be a problem for znc. Take a look at your system, you probably already have an _apt system user already. The other semi-standard is for the username to have a Debian- prefix, but IMHO this is ugly beyond all reason, and certainly isn't very portable. I'm not sure we can find a perfectly portable answer to what the username should be, and perhaps a configure switch is the least terrible solution. > I would be happy to have got a solution with upstream and other > distributions, so that there are no bigger differences (or bugs) between > different distributions and upstream. OK, I'll working on some upstream patches so that we can use the upstream service file. -- Eric Dorland <e...@kuroneko.ca> 43CF 1228 F726 FD5B 474C E962 C256 FBD5 0022 1E93
