[Bug 1595076] Re: ubuntu 16 pwck error

[latimerio]

Rationale:
A users home directory may hold .ssh/authorized_keys and thus allow users to login without password.
Thus our company has a check for those files because an unclean authorized_keys can be a big security issue.
This check fails if a home directory doesn't exist.
We can try to fix the check but as I stated the expectation is, that a freshly installed system wouldn't have any wrongly setup passwd file.

Title:
  ubuntu 16 pwck  error

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  running pwck after installing ubuntu 16 gives an error:
  pwck
  user 'systemd-resolve': directory '/run/systemd/resolve' does not exist

  I think that every home directory specified in /etc/passwd must exist.
  If systemd-resolve has a volatile home directory I expect this directory to be created at boot time.

  It seems that there is no regression test before release that makes
  sure that no such errors are reported.
