Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
I start users-admin, and I try to add a new group. The first error
(IMO) is that I am presented with gid 0. I leave that, and try to add,
say, group oki. The tool shows on the bottom of the list of groups that
oki is added. I close tool, but /etc/group shows no group oki. When I
reopen users-admin, and I open "manage groups" of course there is no
group oki.
You can repeat the same thing with any existing gid: try to add a group
with an existing gid, and users-admin will fake adding it.
Both bugs (initial gid 0 and faking the addition of a group with
existing gid) are reproducible in Ubuntu 9.10 fully updated.
