Understood, thanks.
As packager, what am I supposed to do, especially when the following fails:

# /usr/sbin/fedora-useradd -u 23 -M -d /srv/moomps -c 'service companion to
moodss'  -s '/sbin/nologin' moomps
Usage: useradd [options] LOGIN
Options:
  -b, --base-dir BASE_DIR       base directory for the new user account
...

Tracing the script, the following is executed:
exec /usr/sbin/useradd 300 23 -M -d /srv/moomps -c 'service companion to moodss'
-s /sbin/nologin moomps

Is anybody using this?
