I've just had a closer look at /etc/group and it would appear that when I add user 'username' the system creates a group 'username' with the same gid as the uid. Is this normal behaviour for useradd?
So I solved my problem by using 'groupdel mysql' and then using useradd -c "MySQL Server" -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -u 40 mysql which also created a group named mysql with gid 40. Since this will only be a single user machine its not going to make that much difference but I'm very curious. And I've been thinking about this for a few minutes; my solution seems to be a bit of a bodge job so I might try to install shadow-4.0.15 over 4.0.18.1 and see what happens. If things go wrong I'll start again!
