Uh, oh, I got that feeling you know ;-) Seriously, exactly as you write I was seeing the user being added to his primary private group.
"adduser tester" produces this group entry: "tester:x:1006:" where users-admin produced: "test:x:1005:test" I had experienced much trouble before because of another tool not using adduser (with its hooks). (probably why I got suspicious so quickly) Thank you for your response and feedback. (Strange you're right, maybe adduser once belonged to base-passwd and the doc didn't get updated?) -- users-admin not following Debian policy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
