`adduser` does work as expected, the following warnings are spurious, they just
appear when one doesn't have the nscd package. They do not appear on linux boxes
because there posix_spawn doesn't report ENOENT for exec(). Posix indeed says
that `if the error occurs after the calling process successfully returns, the
child process shall exit with exit status 127'. The hurd doesn't do this, it should.
