Hi,
I am asking for discussion about bug #290623. The bug basically says
that it is a bad idea to generate system accounts with primary group
"nogroup", which I feel is a valid report.
The bug report continues to suggest generating a dedicated group for
each system account that has been generated

Hi,
adduser has two bug reports open where people are asking for user name
rules to be relaxed. One report wants "." to be allowed in user names,
another wants usernames to start with numbers.
May I ask for your opinion before denying or following the requests?

Hi,
please test the new adduser package in experimental which was uploaded
today.
It fixes a number of minor functionality bugs and also three issues
where deluser --remove-home wasn't foolproof enough. It will now by
default refuse to delete /, /bin, /usr, /var and other important
directories, a

I have a computer system with 3 ethernet ports, one on
the motherboard and two on a dual NIC PCI card.
Typically, the onboard port is aliased as eth0 while
the ports on the NIC get assigned eth1 and eth2.
Lately, eth1 gets assigned to the onboard port, which
is very annoying since that messes up
