Hello Guix,

On IRC, fps reported this issue: their user account was declared like
this:

26   (users (cons (user-account=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
27                 (name "fps")=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
28                 (comment "fps")=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
29                 (group "users")=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
30                 (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev"=20=20
31                                         "audio" "video"))=20
32                 (home-directory "/home/bob"))    ;<--- notice =E2=80=9Cb=
ob=E2=80=9D!

=E2=80=A6 yet /etc/passwd would refer to /home/fps for user =E2=80=9Cfps=E2=
=80=9D (this is on a
fresh GuixSD 0.15.0 install.)

This in turn would prevent logging in as =E2=80=9Cfps=E2=80=9D because /hom=
e/fps didn=E2=80=99t
exist (meaning the =E2=80=98user-homes=E2=80=99 Shepherd service created /h=
ome/bob, not
/home/fps.)

Ludo=E2=80=99.
