Package: adduser Version: 3.121 Severity: normal Hi,
this is material for one of the next development rounds _after_ the policy issues (especially everything around locking accounts) has been cleared. If adduser is aborted for some reason (for example, a lock not being available in time, see #983405), we leave the system in some kind of inconclusive state, such as groups having been created but accounts not etc. So we should try to roll back the system to the state that it was before we got invoked. I think the easiest way would be that we have a list of commands to be used in case of premature abort, and insert the opposite of any command that we have executed successfully into that list. If we abort, we just execute everthing that is in this list. If we end with success, the list doesnt get executed. Greetings Marc
