Package: login Version: 1:4.1.4.2-1 Severity: minor # This enables userdel to remove user groups if no members exist. # # Other former uses of this variable such as setting the umask when # user==primary group are not used in PAM environments, thus in Debian # USERGROUPS_ENAB no
So, two problems with this. First, it doesn't mention that it also controls whether useradd puts users in usergroups by default, although useradd's man page says it does. Second, the "are not used in PAM environments, thus in Debian" reads rather like the sentance got cut off in the middle, and the "thus" is used in a slightly strange way; I would expect "thus not in Debian". But that is also clumsy, so instead, I suggest: "are not used in PAM environments, such as Debian." -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-686 (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 login depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpam-modules 1.1.1-2 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 1.1.1-2 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.1.1-2 Pluggable Authentication Modules l login recommends no packages. login suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- see shy jo
