Subject: bug#23971: Nobody has a shell
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2016 12:10:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAEwRq=p6rqdjAVc6xU24Rhn9cWVXOzF-44SOuL0naxj+Rr2X_Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
vince@guixsd ~/guix-packages$ grep nobody /etc/passwd
nobody:x:65534:997::/var/empty:/gnu/store/7cdd8s466qyjh64m0byq0rz9gk1jid40-bash-4.3.42/bin/bash
On my debian, this user is left out the door:
$ grep nobody /etc/passwd
nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin
Even its HOME directory is non existent, purposedly...
Is this not a security risk (greater attack surface) or something like that ?
