Package: adduser Version: 3.110 Severity: normal
The description paragraph of the manpage says: "They are friendlier front ends to the low level tools like useradd, groupadd and usermod programs, by default choosing Debian policy conformant UID and GID values, creating a home directory with skeletal configuration, running a custom script, and other features." As far as I can tell (I looked around the code a little) adduser does not provide the mentioned possibility to run custom scripts. If this is indeed the case the passage should be removed from the manpage. Otherwise the manpage should provide documentation where to put / how to use such scripts. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.8 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages adduser depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.1.1-6+lenny1 change and administer password and ii perl-base 5.10.0-19lenny3 minimal Perl system adduser recommends no packages.
