If adduser is called with the --system option without a specific UID, it complains "Use of uninitialized value in printf" (note the 3rd and 4th lines below). benjo (sid)[2]:/home/kmccarty# adduser --system --ingroup nogroup --home /tmp bar adduser: Warning: The home dir you specified already exists. Use of uninitialized value in printf at /usr/sbin/adduser line 334. Adding system user `bar' with uid ... Adding new user `bar' (107) with group `nogroup'. The home directory `/tmp' already exists. Not copying from `/etc/skel' adduser: Warning: that home directory does not belong to the user you are currently creating The problem is that line 334 of the adduser script tries to print the new UID before it is defined on lines 336 and following. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-386 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages adduser depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.70 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.0.14-6 change and administer password and ii perl-base 5.8.8-2 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis adduser recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * adduser/homedir-permission: true regards, -- Kevin B.
