[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#479051: nagios3: wrong home directory for the nagios user

[Stephane Chazelas]

Package: nagios3
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: normal


The nagios user is being added by
/usr/sbin/useradd -r -d /var/log/nagios -s /bin/sh -c "%{nsusr}" %{nsusr}

However, the /var/log/nagios doesn't exist in nagios3, it's
/var/log/nagios3.

It can be a problem when wanting to add a check for the rsh
service by putting a .rhosts file in the nagios' home directory
for instance.
