+Tag: maintainer-script-lacks-home-in-adduser
+Severity: error
+Check: scripts
+Renamed-From: maintainer-script-should-not-use-adduser-system-without-home
+Explanation: The maintainer script apparently runs 'adduser --system'
+ but hardcodes a path under '/home' for the '--home' option or
+ does not use the '--home' option.
+ .
+ The FHS says: /home is a fairly standard concept, but it
+ is clearly a site-specific filesystem. The setup will differ
+ from host to host. Therefore, no program should rely on this
+ location.
+ .
+ Note that passing --no-create-home alone does not solve the issue
+ because home field of passwd file point to a non existing
+ /home subdirectory. Please use
+ <code>adduser --no-create-home --home /nonexistent</code> instead.
