I dig a little bit in the debian documentation, and I found this snipset
in the section 9.2 of securing-debian-howto [1]
It is interesting to see the code used to create a system user.
But the step 4 bother me
usermod -c "$SERVER_NAME" \
-d $SERVER_HOME \
> Just use a generic name and be done with it.
