Can anybody please test the -proposed packages? I tested them myself,
but since I sponsored/uploaded them, we need some more eyes on this.
Thanks in advance!

Creating user with username 'admin'
I have reproduced the issue with gnome-system-tools in jaunty,
2.22.2-0ubuntu3, and have verified that the version in jaunty-proposed,
2.22.2-0ubuntu4, does not allow the creation of a user id that matches
an id that exists solely in the group database (pulse-access is another
example of this).
I tested this using Intrepid and confirm that gnome-system-tools version
2.22.1-0ubuntu1.1 does infact prevent the creation the of a user named
admin and various others. Its a bit odd that the error message says the
user already exists, but its the functionality that is the key.

Creating user with username 'admin' hoses admin group, sudo config
Hi Jonathan,
thanks for the workaround.
However, I would like to suggest that the groups are checked for
existance instead of an hardcoded check for admin since it would be an
similiar problem if someone would add a user named scanner, pulse,
gdm syslog or any other name that is equal to an
Also marking for hardy. This sounds like a good SRU. However, I'm not
happy with the patch yet:
- It introduces new strings, which needs to be avoided for i18n reasons.
- Hardcoding admin sounds wrong to me. Shouldn't it rather just check
whether the user/group already exists? The current code
Tentatively assigning to Jonathan. Please let me know if you don't have
time to work on this, then I'll find someone else. Thank you!
