[PATCH] useradd -r in snort.spec

[Filippo Carletti <filippo.carletti () gmail com>]

Hello, I've a patch for the snort-2.9.7 specfile on CentOS 6.

During snort installation, a snort user is created automatically to
own some dirs.
Usually rpm packages add users with useradd -r, to create system
users, with uid < 500

See http://dev.nethserver.org/issues/3163 for details.

# Don't do all this stuff if we are upgrading
if [ $1 = 1 ] ; then
- /usr/sbin/groupadd snort 2> /dev/null || true
- /usr/sbin/useradd -M -d %{_var}/log/snort -s %{noShell} -c "Snort"
-g snort snort 2>/dev/null || true
+ /usr/sbin/groupadd -r snort 2> /dev/null || true
+ /usr/sbin/useradd -r -M -d %{_var}/log/snort -s %{noShell} -c
"Snort" -g snort snort 2>/dev/null || true
fi

# Make a symlink if there is no link for snort-plain
