Package: adduser
Version: 1.94-1
Three different bugs fixed here:
(1) There were a few race conditions in locking the password and
group files. A badly timed ^C could result in the lockfile
not being cleared.
(2) chown()/chmod() persistantly used in the wrong order throughout.

The quotes should be removed ASAP, as they will cause this version
number sort before any sane version number and so be likely to cause
problems for people trying to upgrade.
Ian.
I've had a look at this bug: its some pretty dire code in the section
the reads your .fvwmrc.
I submit the following patch to fix the problem.

bash gets confused when breaking lines that scroll right out of the

Because of the changes in the TeX directory structure since a few

The adduser script replaces NIS entries with real entries, e.g.
+guest:/home/guest:/bin/bash
will become
guest:Et0G64UQTkzbw:1001:100:Guest Account:/home/guest:/bin/bash
The adduser script shouldn't touch lines starting with a + or -
character.
