Package: passwd Version: 1:4.1.5-1 Severity: normal I tried to add a supplementary group "wireshark":
# usermod -aG wireshark amarsh04 # exit $ groups amarsh04 lp dialout cdrom floppy audio src video plugdev lpadmin $ su Password: # usermod -a -G wireshark amarsh04 # groups amarsh04 amarsh04 : amarsh04 lp dialout cdrom floppy audio src video plugdev lpadmin wireshark This did not appear to be properly documented in the manual page, ie having to separate -a and -G to get the desired functionality. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.4.0-rc2+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages passwd depends on: ii debianutils 4.3 ii libc6 2.13-27 ii libpam-modules 1.1.3-7 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-4 ii libsemanage1 2.1.6-5 passwd recommends no packages. passwd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
