The openQA test sets this to `/sbin/nologin` which seems to be provided by util-linux and not shadow on our distro. And in this test util-linux seems not to be installed. Serge noted on https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/issues/207 that shadow can provide nologin too. Possible solutions: 1. Install util-linux in the test scenario Maybe has other drawbacks like dependency loops during initial system setup/minimal systems? 2. Use shadows nologin (I didn't see a compile switch in our spec file that disables it..). 3. Add a patch that always allows nologin even if it's not there. Either always or when creating a system user (-r) Any feedback/ideas are welcome. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
