Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
Here is a new feisty install, with a user (airween) with admin
privileges. I have been created a new user (david) from System -> Admin.
-> Users and Groups (I don't know what package contains that). After
that application said, user has been created, user DOESN'T exist, just
the new group. Another effect is, after I realized the new user can't
login, the creator user (what created at install) couldn't has admin
privileges, because that user isn't member of required group(s) (also
not member of audio, after login it can't use the mixer...).
In the auth.log there are several lines in reference to with this:

I didn't find any reference to this bug.
(Workaround was: reboot in recovery mode, add user to required groups,
and create new user from command-line with adduser.)
Thanks:
