The updatetools service in Toolforge seems to be failing.
I found the following log messages:
Oct 11 10:16:21 tools-sge-services-03 systemd[1]: [/lib/systemd/system/updatetools.service:17] Invalid user/group name or numeric ID, ignoring: tools.admin Oct 11 10:16:21 tools-sge-services-03 systemd[1]: [/lib/systemd/system/updatetools.service:18] Invalid user/group name or numeric ID, ignoring: tools.admin
however:
aborrero@tools-sge-services-03:~$ id tools.admin uid=51051(tools.admin) gid=51051(tools.admin) groups=51051(tools.admin),53060(tools.gridengine-status),53937(tools.trusty-tools),53856(tools.vuln-checker),53063(tools.admin-beta),53935(tools.sge-jobs),52513(tools.cdnjs),52682(tools.dpkg),52468(tools.repo)
Could it be simply that systemd v232 doesn't like the dot in the user name string?
