question about amanda's backup user



Hello,

Is the following a reasonable invocation of adduser for adding 
a user named 'backup' on:
  the amanda-client host?
  the amanda-server host?

adduser --system --ingroup nogroup --home /var/run/backup \
    --shell /bin/sh --disabled-password backup >/dev/null 2>&1 || true

Are there any security problems or filesystem problems (or amanda problems)
with using the above on either type of host?

TIA,
Susan
