Hi,
This is indeed a good point. I will take it to the jonas community.
In the meanwhile, please note that the ascii display name of users and groups is
irrelevant. At the inner level Unix is all about numbers. Just rename your
group and user from jonas to jonasrun (or something elese you like) and all will
be well (as long as you don't change the numbers) -- at least until you try
and update...
It is possible that you run into problems when updating the RPM., as the RPM
will try and install a user called jonas again. If this change is accepted
upstream, then I will add mechanisms for backward compatibility in the RPM scripts.
However the problem also exists for amanda for example so before
changing jonas a (semi) official RH/Suse/Mdk policy on allowed system
user names would be nice (CC-ing fedora-devel)
Cheers,
