Package: libpam-modules (Filing this, to track the TODOs from the discussion that followed http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/05/msg00887.html)
A private group is identifiable by username==groupname, UID==GID and: > 2) A special case is true: The group is set as the main group of the > user (in /etc/passwd) while the user is NOT added to his group > in /etc/groups. (Other users can intentionally be added to the private group, i.e. if the user is a sub-user of a user, or an account that runs some software whose data should be writeable to mutliple users.) Testing for this special case allows deluser to remove the UPG together with the user, when deleting the user (and the group is empty). And testing this will prevent pam_umask from misdetecting a private user group in some cases where user/group names and IDs do only match randomly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
