catnest(1)

📦 version 0.2.1, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

okay so catnest(1) — yes, section 1, the General Commands Manual — is literally a substitution for systemd-sysusers. That's the whole point, bestie. 🐱✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

catnest [options] [CONFIGURATION]

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --help — shows the help. That's the only option on the menu, and she's serving minimal icon energy. 🫶

🌸 Difference from systemd-sysusers 🌸

okay bestie, this is the part where catnest is like "I'm not systemd-sysusers, I'm my own main character" — here's the exact tea:

  • catnest supports option 'u' and 'g' only; 'r' is ignored now. Periodt. 💅
  • File paths in the ID field are not supported. Nope, not a vibe. 🙈
  • All GECOS need to be quoted, even it does NOT content a blank character. Yes, quote them anyway — the caveat says what it says. 💀
  • gshadow files are not completely supported, but catnest will append to it when needed. 🦋
  • All existed group passwords will be ERASED. 😭 This is the loud part: erased. Be so careful.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

  • systemd-sysusers(1) — the sibling page, if you want to compare lore. 💖

💅 cute sign-off: that's catnest from the eweOS Project — source/version: eweOS Project — and the footer didn't list a date, so no date to report, bestie. 🎀✨
