5 [2.1.0] Post-Installer fails to create the webswell user - ID: 1724141
Last Update: Settings changed ( ladislav_urban )

[Webswell Connect 2.1.0] After copying the files the installer tries to
excecute some post installation scripts.

The first step is the creation of a webswell user.

It executes /usr/sbin/adduser which works fine for e.g. CentOS 5.0, but
fails for openSUSE 10.2, where the correct command should be
/usr/sbin/useradd.

In CentOS 5.0, /usr/sbin/adduser is "only" a symbolic link to
/usr/sbin/useradd. openSUSE does not have such a symbolic link.

There is workaround. You should run installer to the point that files are
copied to your system. Then you manually adjust post_inst files in scripts
directory to work for your system and normaly continue in installation by
pressing next in the GUI installer

This looks like compatibility problem in CentOS 5.0 . I think it can be
solved only by adding radio button to chose concrete linux flavor to
installer. It is in plan

It also seems as if the installer does not pass the "-m" parameter (that
makes useradd under openSUSE create a home directory for the newly created
user), that leads in further installation errors.
