Subject:   Weird adduser behavior ?
Message-ID:  <36643E77.7B682BB9@healthnet-sl.es>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Last saturday, the "daily run output" script showed the results of my
addition of a new user to the password file (let's call him "newuser")
using the adduser script, but I was surprised with this replacement in
the group file:

< beginners:*:1005:user_a,user_b
> beginners:*:user_a,user_b:
...
> newuser:*:1015:newuser

The new "newuser" group was expected because I chose that when executing
adduser, but I did not touch the group file so I understand that the
other change (that gave GID zero to "beginners" group -a simulated name
for the actual group-, obviously a group for non-privileged users) was
made by the adduser script.

Anyone else has observed such behavior with adduser ?
