+ <para>Note that <command>systemd-sysusers</command>
+ will do nothing if the specified users or groups
+ already exist, so normally there no reason to override
+ <filename>sysusers.d</filename> vendor configuration,
+ except to block certain users or groups from being
+ created.</para>
+
+ <para>Files in <filename>/etc/sysusers.d</filename>
+ override files with the same name in
+ <filename>/usr/lib/sysusers.d</filename> and
+ <filename>/run/sysusers.d</filename>. Files in
+ <filename>/run/sysusers.d</filename> override files
+ with the same name in
+ <filename>/usr/lib/sysusers.d</filename>. The scheme is the same as for
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>tmpfiles.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ except for the directory name.</para>
+
+ <para>If the administrator wants to disable a
+ configuration file supplied by the vendor, the
+ recommended way is to place a symlink to
+ <filename>/dev/null</filename> in
+ <filename>/etc/sysusers.d/</filename> bearing the
+ same filename.</para>
