2019-08-28accounts: Delete duplicate entries.Ludovic Courtès
When adding multiple instances of a service requiring some user account/group, we could end up with multiple entries for that account or group in /etc/passwd or /etc/group. * gnu/build/accounts.scm (database-writer)[write-entries]: Add call to 'delete-duplicates'. * tests/accounts.scm ("write-passwd with duplicate entry"): New test.

2019-04-26accounts: Always honor the configured user account shell.Ludovic Courtès
Starting from commit 0ae735bcc8ff7fdc89d67b492bdee9091ee19e86, Guix System would preserve the user shell across reconfigure and reboot. This was done so as to allow for the use of 'chsh'. This proved to be a misguided decision. This commit goes back to considering user shells as config and not "state." * gnu/build/accounts.scm (allocate-passwd): Do not use shell from PREVIOUS.
