I've experienced this bug in the following situation: at my workplace I've set up several machines running Ubuntu 7.04 and which are integrated in an Active Domain Network controlled by a Windows Server. I did this using samba, kerberos and winbind, and now these machines can be used with local and domain accounts (domain accounts are not listed in /etc/passwd but are managed by winbind). To allow some domain accounts to gain administrative privileges I added them manually to the admin group with 'adduser'. After that, if you use System -> Administration -> Users and Groups to add a new user, all the domain users (not local users) which were granted admin rights will lose their privileges. This happens because they are deleted from the admin group in /etc/group. The problem does not occur when using the command line utility (adduser).
