Package: adduser Version: 3.110 Severity: normal Back in April 2007, someone filed bug 419572 (still open) saying that powermanga didn't save high scores. Someone else suggested the "workaround" of adding the user to group "games"; however, normal users should never have group "games", because that group exists specifically so that games can write data that normal users cannot tamper with. Bug 419572 then got cloned as 435642 against adduser asking for the commented EXTRA_GROUPS example to include group "games", and adduser made that change.
That change should never have occurred. Please remove group "games" from the EXTRA_GROUPS example. As previously suggested in bug 432710, the EXTRA_GROUPS example should match the groups debian-installer adds the first user to. (Even after removing group "games", that doesn't hold true, but that represents a different bug.) - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-rc9-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages adduser depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.1.1-5 change and administer password and ii perl-base 5.10.0-16 minimal Perl system adduser recommends no packages.
