This was fixed in Natty but a little bit differently, see bug #656415 .
Should the fix be taken from there and SRU'd back to Maverick and Lucid
or is the above patch sufficient (or maybe even better) ?
In Natty there is this for checking if the user/group exists:
if ! getent passwd | grep -q "^${_USERNAME}:"
if ! getent group | grep -q "^${_USERNAME}:"
And in this bugreport the fix being suggested in comment #6 is using
getent to find the entry, without using grep. If nothing else, it feels
cleaner:
if ! getent passwd ${_USERNAME} >/dev/null 2>&1
if ! getent group ${_USERNAME} >/dev/null 2>&1
