ii adduser 2.13 Utilities to add users and groups to the sys
I only have 5 users on my system and I keep a very close watch on the
system and users. I don't think it was any of my users. I suspect a
package or program. It was definitly not done by me.
Could this be an adduser problem ?
I'll have to ask the user a few questions and try to find out if it could
have been due to adduser OR passwd (he changed his password right after
I created the account)
