Changing package because the profiles with default groups in ubuntu are
currently maintained in g-s-t (not adduser).
** Package changed: pam (Ubuntu) => gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => New
** Description changed:
-
Current behaviour is:
The "users" group exists but when setting up a (set group ID) groupdirectory
(i.e. /home/group/users) it does not work as expected, because the users group
is not populated (empty).
Changed behaviour would be:
Users are added to the users group also when the (private) USERGROUP scheme
is used, and a created users groupdir is functional.
- In order for the users to belong to the users group by default two
- solutions exist.
+ In order for all (regular/login) users to belong to the users group by
+ default two solutions exist.
1)
centrally add one line to /etc/security/group.conf (for dynamic addition to
the group during login):
*; *; *; Al0000-2400; users
2) change group membership off all existing users manually/scripted and
modifying adduser defaults for new users to have them added to the users
group.
There should be no security risk involved, because no files belonging to
users group are created by default and at the same time users is applied
as the primary group to users when disableing (private) USERGROUPS in
/etc/adduser.conf.
The users group is generally used as a group refering to all users and
makes the user private group scheme work as designed.
