Package: adduser
Version: 3.110
Severity: minor
The adduser manpage text for --ingroup and --gid are a little confusing.
--ingroup GROUP
Add the new user to GROUP instead of a usergroup or the default
group defined by USERS_GID in the configuration file. This
affects the users primary group. To add additional groups, see
the add_extra_groups option
--gid ID
When creating a group, this option forces the new groupid to be
the given number. When creating a user, this option will put
the user in that group.
These options do not "Add the new user to GROUP" or "put the user in that
group", they just set the user's initial group. The ingroup one sort of
explains that but in a confusing way, and the gid one is just wrong.
Thanks,
