I installed Lenny using a netinstall disc. Last night as root, I used a 'startx' to start a Gnome desktop. While in the session, I decided to use the administrative tool to add a few users. All seemed to be normal, but when I exited the session and went to the /etc/passwd file, and the /etc/shadow none of the users were actually added, but the associated groups were. I deleted the groups and then at the command prompt, I used adduser which properly added the users, passwords, and created the home directories. I used Debian since Potato days. Though I am normally at the command prompt, I have in the past added users without a problem using the graphical tools. I think someone should look into the issue fairly rapidly. I am at work right now so I can't use the suggested tool for submitting a bug report.
