The reason is apparently: enewuser vboxguest -1 /bin/sh /var/run/vboxguest vboxguest This conflicts with the policy of only creating directories in /var/run on demand. As far as I can tell, the service doesn't use that directory, but didn't check thoroughly. If it is not needed, /dev/null can be used in enewuser instead. If it is needed, I guess that the proper location is /var/lib.
