Yep, I was wondering the same for a bit, but then realized that it's already described in the `sysusers.d(5)` man page and doing so here would just duplicate that info (not to mention possibly go out of sync).

That said,

> And now imagine you're on a non-systemd based system, and come here looking for the info how to tell rpm about users and groups.

This is indeed something I did *not* realize, oops :smile: You're right, of course. While the feature is designed to integrate seamlessly on systemd distros, it is universal, and the `sysusers.d(5)` man page may not (and probably will not) exist on a non-systemd distro.

So yep, I'll add something.
