Still a problem -- I just hosed my system trying to add a user. It
basically lost everyone's group membership. That knocked me out of
admin, and killed network functionality (especially gaim) because lots
of userids should be members of haldaemon, but no longer were. Not
knowing who had lost what, I poked around until, by removing and
reinstalling dbus and hal (etc.), I got network back. I still don't
have audio, because I haven't figured out which groups need what, or
what reinstall will fix my /etc/group. I had to reboot to single-user
("recovery") mode to add myself back to admin so I could sudo. What a
dreadful bug. Completely unexpected that a simple add user operation
would hose the system.
