On a newly installed up-to-date FC4 x86_64 machine:

# rpm -i moomps-5.4-2.noarch.rpm
%fedora_useradd

with, in the spec file:
%pre
echo %fedora_useradd

Same result if fedora-usermgmt package is installed

Unless my memory plays tricks on me, there has never been an RPM
macro for fedora-usermgmt tools. You're looking for:

 /usr/sbin/fedora-useradd

Then the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/UserCreation page needs an
update.

In my understanding the page only discusses the pros and cons of
possible "useradd" techniques in rpms. Hence the "Advantages" and
"Disadvantages" sections. I don't read it as a HOWTO.


Understood, thanks.
As packager, what am I supposed to do, especially when the following fails:

File a bug.

# /usr/sbin/fedora-useradd -u 23 -M -d /srv/moomps -c 'service companion to
moodss'  -s '/sbin/nologin' moomps

Remove the '-u' flag, but leave the flag's argument:

/usr/sbin/fedora-useradd 23 -M -d /srv/moomps -c 'service companion to moodss' -s '/sbin/nologin' moomps

Usage: useradd [options] LOGIN
Options:
  -b, --base-dir BASE_DIR       base directory for the new user account
...

Tracing the script, the following is executed:
exec /usr/sbin/useradd 300 23 -M -d /srv/moomps -c 'service companion to moodss'
-s /sbin/nologin moomps

Is anybody using this?

Yes, in tclhttpd.
