I think that the test should just be
if (($ret & EXISTING_FOUND) && !($ret & EXISTING_SYSTEM)) {
But you could factorize the EXISTING_FOUND case as done for the
addsysgroup action:
my $ret = existing_user_status($new_name, $new_uid);
if ($ret == (EXISTING_FOUND|EXISTING_SYSTEM)) {
# a user with this name already exists; it's a problem when it's not a
system user
log_fatal( mtx("The user `%s' already exists, but is not a system user.
Exiting."), $new_name );
exit( RET_WRONG_OBJECT_PROPERTIES );
}
if ($ret & EXISTING_ID_MISMATCH) {
log_fatal( mtx("The user `%s' already exists with a different UID.
Exiting."), $new_name );
exit( RET_WRONG_OBJECT_PROPERTIES );
}
if ($ret & EXISTING_FOUND) {
log_fatal( mtx("The system user `%s' already exists. Exiting.\n"),
$new_name );
exit( RET_OK );
}
would be changed to
my $ret = existing_user_status($new_name, $new_uid);
if ($ret & EXISTING_FOUND) {
if (!($ret & EXISTING_SYSTEM)) {
# a user with this name already exists; it's a problem when it's
not a system user
log_fatal( mtx("The user `%s' already exists, but is not a system
user. Exiting."), $new_name );
exit( RET_WRONG_OBJECT_PROPERTIES );
}
if ($ret & EXISTING_ID_MISMATCH) {
log_fatal( mtx("The user `%s' already exists with a different UID.
Exiting."), $new_name );
exit( RET_WRONG_OBJECT_PROPERTIES );
}
log_fatal( mtx("The system user `%s' already exists. Exiting.\n"),
$new_name );
exit( RET_OK );
}
Not tested.
