                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-7883</link>
                <project id="10000" key="SERVER">Core Server</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;Reported in GG:&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/mongodb-user/k3aYsAU85ko&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/mongodb-user/k3aYsAU85ko&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Debian package is looking in /etc/passwd for user mongodb, which in my case, it doesn&apos;t find (nor do I). However, I&apos;m peforming this installation in a rather more complex environment in which there are LDAP users defined which do not appear in /etc/passwd of course.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The solution would be to be more careful using adduser to insert the new mongodb user, something like:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p/&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;syntaxplugin&quot; class=&quot;syntaxplugin&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px dashed #bbb; border-radius: 5px !important; overflow: auto; max-height: 30em;&quot;&gt;
&lt;table cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4em !important; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; color: black;&quot;&gt;
		&lt;tbody &gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;
						&lt;td  style=&quot; line-height: 1.4em !important; padding: 0em; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
					&lt;pre style=&quot;font-size: 1em; margin: 0 10px;  margin-top: 10px;   width: auto; padding: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &apos;Consolas&apos;, &apos;Bitstream Vera Sans Mono&apos;, &apos;Courier New&apos;, Courier, monospace !important;&quot;&gt;id=`grep mongodb /etc/passwd`&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;
						&lt;td  style=&quot; line-height: 1.4em !important; padding: 0em; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
					&lt;pre style=&quot;font-size: 1em; margin: 0 10px;   width: auto; padding: 0;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;
						&lt;td  style=&quot; line-height: 1.4em !important; padding: 0em; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
					&lt;pre style=&quot;font-size: 1em; margin: 0 10px;   width: auto; padding: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &apos;Consolas&apos;, &apos;Bitstream Vera Sans Mono&apos;, &apos;Courier New&apos;, Courier, monospace !important;&quot;&gt;if [ ! id mongodb ]; then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;
						&lt;td  style=&quot; line-height: 1.4em !important; padding: 0em; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
					&lt;pre style=&quot;font-size: 1em; margin: 0 10px;   width: auto; padding: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &apos;Consolas&apos;, &apos;Bitstream Vera Sans Mono&apos;, &apos;Courier New&apos;, Courier, monospace !important;&quot;&gt;  adduser --system --no-create-home mongodb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;
						&lt;td  style=&quot; line-height: 1.4em !important; padding: 0em; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
					&lt;pre style=&quot;font-size: 1em; margin: 0 10px;   width: auto; padding: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &apos;Consolas&apos;, &apos;Bitstream Vera Sans Mono&apos;, &apos;Courier New&apos;, Courier, monospace !important;&quot;&gt;  addgroup --system mongodb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;
						&lt;td  style=&quot; line-height: 1.4em !important; padding: 0em; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
					&lt;pre style=&quot;font-size: 1em; margin: 0 10px;   width: auto; padding: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &apos;Consolas&apos;, &apos;Bitstream Vera Sans Mono&apos;, &apos;Courier New&apos;, Courier, monospace !important;&quot;&gt;  adduser mongodb mongodb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;
						&lt;td  style=&quot; line-height: 1.4em !important; padding: 0em; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
					&lt;pre style=&quot;font-size: 1em; margin: 0 10px;   margin-bottom: 10px;  width: auto; padding: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &apos;Consolas&apos;, &apos;Bitstream Vera Sans Mono&apos;, &apos;Courier New&apos;, Courier, monospace !important;&quot;&gt;  ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
			&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m sorry someone in our Ops team decided that a mongodb user would be a good idea to have, but I can&apos;t do anything about that and it shouldn&apos;t really hinder my MongoDB installation but for needing a little tighter coding in the post install/configure phase.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The solution is to hack the Debian package (DEBIAN/postinst). Ugh. I hope 10gen is listening and can offer a fix soon?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps someone else scratching his or her head.&lt;/p&gt;
