Having failed in my web searching, I ask for wisdom... Suppose I have a web app where people can register, choosing a username. The app takes the username and creates an operating system account on a Debian server.
Naturally I don't want to let people choose 'root' or 'nobody' or 'www-data' or 'bind' or... How can I get a list of all the possible usernames that might be required by packages on a server? Or is this a misguided way to do it and I should instead modify the user's choice by applying a prefix or some such?
