Bug Description
In Xenial, zabbix-agent installer generates zabbix user without valid home dir (/nonexistent). This breaks RemoteCommands that need a writeable homedir to complete:
e.g. I wrote a tiny script to count number of security upgrades waiting (using aptitude). This works on all precise and trusty servers, but failed on the new xenial install:
zabbix# zabbix_get -s webhostnew -k 'system.
E: /nonexistent/

Seting zabbix user homedir to /var/run/zabbix fixed the problem.
