I checked, and it's the 'nobody' user's home directory: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/system/shadow.scm#n125 > I suggest that we rename it or delete it. I think it's very appropriate for nobody to live in a nonexistent directory ;) But, I noticed that the directory doesn't exist on my GuixSD system, which has been reconfigured since the commit that introduced this directory (2d94702ff). My nobody is still using '/var/empty'. I wonder if that's a problem? --TB36FDmn/VVEgNH/ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJXujW+AAoJECZG+jC6yn8I24sP/jH8OyAqj97SvgkBtWTWHEKZ 6523ZQT6I9tqJXqlfRuKvwpioEgwT2I+EkMgfe1rVgiSxS1i1OhPc3VEtCxgtp3Y +UTQkp+6FFdgR7s2YE005cvsLY2KTs12hTbjNwck4pSz81dxDV24yUO6AVvZezmH AErL3gvfwRT+xPDkjQNTw3w5I8Fvz8N33OVAuQi3KVp7rdUgmuhadhoI+hHSA3pV kJnHg4GwvCCF8BB2tTHWeD0zwl7TtxqCR4ADVSAB808r1/ACDUm72Z7aUQ4kJSIF E4Wwxz8+xNfYuP4egaam5paHCeRG1samuLWPhnFGL9g0zbiV/M1oNBRWkWoFvvT0 WvmIZVsqQJocYb+QEqlCANnOBUapF/7fQ4FkpuFZsxkyf7axtwn1hKs0JSpj5yCg nADno/HPf1YylECgzPdeyvvwj8WM3XHXM0FfvRllGOwnK42B2j8rxOyxHWYrc4ud AakST72Mo6/EDzmBaBXY1Ap5J3Lcv4iK39uD8miamvvI9Sszi/MAGb3BwiI7DLyP YP8LIrKWSbWIoIxV8/+AVSBZa+Y7QWgU7tEj0kvs5OeZ21KobIzcQcNRJyY0bRAl TxDXXH8N6K03vNpH8gM2OXW58FuGwqxcJZHCopqo12TW1Z9wNtkX/4plgGnyLfkh yOVqlvKKNf8OQEA2qYx2 =WtRf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --TB36FDmn/VVEgNH/--
