Hi all, i named a username "eirods", than it is already in passwd and group. And i try to install the eirods on this server with rpm -i,
Then i get this information.
Creating Service Group and Account: eirods at /var/lib/eirods ERROR :: Please delete the existing Service Group eirods before proceeding.
is there any solution to fix this? Thanks
HI
Do you in fact have a user called ""eirods?"
If so, you can't have two users with the same name.
If not, delete the user from the password, and group files.
Or use the GUI to remove that user.
HTH.

You must develop a plan to deal with duplicate user names. I've seen this done in several ways. You could add a number to the user name: I.E. eirods01
If you use the person's initials you can build a user name like this: John Alfred Johns = JAJ00 James Albert Jones = JAJ01
If the user has no middle name use the first initial and the first two letters of the last name: Mark LaPierre = MLA03
It's a good plan to make all your user names the same length. It makes managing your system with scripts much easier. Say you adopt a length of six characters. John Alfred Johns = JAJOHN James Albert Jones = JAJONS Mark LaPierre = MLAPIE Se Ta = SETA00
Maybe you might have some direct hires and some contractors on your system. You may want to add an indicator in the user name: John Alfred Johns = JAJC00 < Contractor James Albert Jones = JAJC01 < Contractor John Alfred Johns = JAJD00 < Direct Hire James Albert Jones = JAJD01 < Direct Hire
It's always good to build in some intelligence into you user names.
Allegedly, on or about 06 November 2013, Mark LaPierre sent:

Or, you could try something more personal, and use nicknames (that they approve of) for their login (e.g. James may be Jim).
This reminds me of a problem my friend created with his home computer network. He'd name the computer with his own name, and he'd use his own name for his logon, too. Then he'd do something similar with another computer (use another personal name for himself). It became (personally, rather than computationally) confusing when doing things across the network. Not to mention leaving himself open to jokes about logging on to himself... ;-)
