Indeed, I completely forgot about the sudo/admin groups. Indeed "admin"
has been the one introduced by Ubuntu since the very beginning; later
"sudo" was introduced by Debian, and Ubuntu moved to it. So "admin" can
safely be dropped once all sudo users got moved into "sudo".

With "getent passwd | grep 1000" I get the same single entry as above.
This is a test system, not only there is no NIS and LDAP, but there is a
single user right now.
/etc/passwd as follows
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/nologin
bin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/usr/sb

Do you use any kind of remote user database (NIS, LDAP, etc.), or is
this a fairly standard desktop install? If you don't have any secret
user names or home directory names, would you mind attaching your
/etc/passwd and /etc/gro
Yes, I see the same with the graphical backend. I only reported the text
one, since it was easier.
getent passwd | grep callegar
has a single entry for the user
callegar:x:1000:1000:Sergio Callegari:/home/callegar:/bin/bash
