Hello Guix,
On IRC, fps reported this issue: their user account was declared like
this:
26 (users (cons (user-account
27 (name "fps")
28 (comment "fps")
29 (group "users")
30 (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev"
31 "audio" "video"))
32 (home-directory "/home/bob")) ;<--- notice “bob”!
… yet /etc/passwd would refer to /home/fps for user “fps” (this is on a
fresh GuixSD 0.15.0 install.)
This in turn would prevent logging in as “fps” because /home/fps didn’t
exist (meaning the ‘user-homes’ Shepherd service created /home/bob, not
/home/fps.)
Ludo’.
