I thought the sequence that matters would be: sudo addgroup foo sudo adduser root foo sudo adduser joerg foo id root But maybe I misread it. I think, without having the time to look carefully at it this minute, that this will be another 0/NULL conflation in the code that checks whether a uid is non-zero instead of checking whether it exists. Since we don't use that code in the new version, I think it's fine, and we should tag this appropriately and close it, but I'd like confirmation before doing so. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
