Install libnss-extrausers 2. Add a new group: $ sudo adduser --extrausers --group test-group 3. Create a new user with this group: $ adduser --extrausers --ingroup test-group test-user1 4. Create a new user and add them to this group: $ adduser --extrausers test-user2 $ adduser --extrausers test-user2 test-group Expected result: Two new users (test-user1 and test-user2) are successfully added to the system and are entered in /var/lib/extrausers/{passwd,shadow}. A new group (test-group) is successfully added to /var/lib/extrausers/group and contains the new users. [Where problems could occur] Existing users of adduser and gpasswd that don't use --extrausers are unlikely to hit any issues, as their codepath is unchanged. Existing users that use --extrausers will have a behavior change, but the existing behavior was to fail so this is unlikely to introduce any new issues. There is the risk of introducing new bugs by this change, but it has used since impish without any issues being detected.
