I created a new Debian 9.3 droplet and logged in as root.
It seems, there is by default already a non-root user “debian” created. Is there a reason for this?
useradd command gives strange notices:
$ useradd -m foo
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
This seems to be oputput from the nscd application.
Similar output is generated also with “adduser” command
$ adduser asd
Adding user `asd' ...

sent invalidate(group) request, exiting

Is this really a feature?
