https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D238995 --- Comment #7 from Naman Sood <naman@freebsdfoundation.org> --- Hello! I just finished looking into this, and a few things to note: 1. Your 2023 example is expected behavior - `pw groupshow` will list the gr= oups as in /etc/group, but group(5) notes that "A user is automatically in a gro= up if that group specified in their /etc/passwd entry and does not need to be added that group in the group file." Since in that example, the user riscv's login group was riscv, pw did not add it to the group file. If you'd like to get group membership that keeps such things in mind, `id riscv` shows that. root@neon-testvm:~ # pw groupadd -n testuser -g 4242 root@neon-testvm:~ # adduser Username: testuser Full name:=20 Uid (Leave empty for default): 4242 Login group [testuser]:=20 Login group is testuser. Invite testuser into other groups? []:=20 Login class [default]:=20 Shell (sh csh tcsh nologin) [sh]:=20 Home directory [/home/testuser]:=20 Home directory permissions (Leave empty for default):=20 Use password-based authentication? [yes]: no Lock out the account after creation? [no]:=20 Username : testuser Password : <disabled> Full Name :=20 Uid : 4242 Class :=20 Groups : testuser=20 Home : /home/testuser Home Mode :=20 Shell : /bin/sh Locked : no OK? (yes/no): yes adduser: INFO: Successfully added (testuser) to the user database. Add another user? (yes/no): no Goodbye! root@neon-testvm:~ # cat /etc/group | grep testuser testuser:*:4242: root@neon-testvm:~ # pw groupshow testuser testuser:*:4242: root@neon-testvm:~ # id testuser uid=3D4242(testuser) gid=3D4242(testuser) groups=3D4242(testuser) The bugs exposed by your 2021 and 2019 examples have been fixed in the comm= its above. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
