In base-passwd 3.5.30, I changed nobody's shell to /usr/sbin/nologin (a
change that I really should have made about ten years ago). This has
unfortunately had a bit of collateral damage:
# perl -le 'use Sys::Hostname::Long; print hostname_long'
This account is currently not available.
Note that this only fails when run as root.
* Use "su -s /bin/sh nobody" to cope with the change of nobody's shell in
base-passwd 3.5.30.
