Jun 8, 2013 at 12:43 comment added Anthon From the useradd man page: useradd is a low level utility for adding users. On Debian, administrators should usually use adduser(8) instead. Your command probably got you a 'high' uid. That will work (which is the most important), but is not as clearly a 'system' user as you would get with my example.
