Closed: fixed by rjeffman. Opened by cheimes.

Reopen Issue

Request for enhancement

freeipa.spec uses the old getent passwd | useradd approach to create user accounts for kdcproxy and ipaapi. Fedora recommends to use the sysuser RPM macros and systemd facility instead. The macros is available in all supported Fedora versions and current RHEL 9.
