What wizardry do you guys use in the SPEC file when creating/deleting a user from an RPM package? I was going to create a macro like: %define user(login,uid,gid,name,homedir,shell) \ echo "$1:x:$2:$3:$4:$5:$6" >>/etc/passwd; \ echo "$1:!!:12005:0:99999:7:::" >>/etc/shadow; \ echo "$1:x:$3:" >>/etc/group; \ mkdir -p $5; \ chown $2:$3 $5 and then appropriate sedness and rm's when removing it, but I figure there has to be a cleaner way, or a builtin as this surely is a common feature. The RPM guide doesn't seem to mention it, or if it does, I missed it. Alternatively, if you could point me to a package or a spec file that does this, I'd be much obliged.
