So I would now like the input of other > developers on howto solve this bug. I recently had a /dev/null homedir problem for media-sound/mpd{,-svn} package[1]. Clearly, user mpd needs a non-null homedir. As for other daemon users, I guess it should be handled on a per-user basis - some daemon users most likely don't need the homedir, but need to have something specified in /etc/passwd, thus /dev/null. 1. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101662 Kind regards, -- Andrej "Ticho" Kacian <ticho at gentoo dot org> Gentoo Linux Developer - net-mail, antivirus, sound, x86
