FYI: You should use useradd (groupadd) to portably create accounts. useradd will fail if the account exists. You still have an issue: if there's a chance the account was created by something else, you need a way to know whether userdel (groupdel) it on package removal - same problem you have now with manually adding entries. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
