difference between regular user and system user (and groups)
What is the difference between creating a "regular" user and creating a "system" user on Linux?
For example: Code:
adduser john Code:
adduser --system john Doing an internet search and reading man pages does not give much information on the whole concept of system and regular user/group. |
I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing it might do a few things like:
- use a lower ID number (most system users/groups start at something like 1000) - avoid making /home directories for system users - add the user to the least number of groups possible Again, I'm just speculating though... |
