Hmm. It's always been my understanding that that is precisely the way that we encourage maintainer scripts to invoke adduser, and it's not an error to invoke it with the same set of parameters a second time. It sounds like the docs are wrong, rather than the code, but does anyone else disagree? Cheers, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
