Package: adduser
Version: 3.110
Version: 3.112+nmu2
Severity: minor
File: /usr/sbin/addgroup
Hi,
neither the man page of addgroup nor the output of `addgroup -h'
mentions the valid syntax `addgroup user group' to add the user to the
specified group, but in fact this works:
| # addgroup x dune
| Adding user `x' to group `dune' ...
| Adding user x to group dune
| Done.
| # getent group | grep dune
| dune:x:1005:x
Greetings,
Mike Dornberger
