adduser.sh: Add info which separator to use in the question itself
We could just as easily normalize the separator:
- [ -n "$_input" ] && ugroups="$_input"
+ [ -n "$_input" ] && ugroups="$(echo "$_input" | tr -s ',' ' ')"
DES
That's true and would be the "src" way of solving it, rather than the
"doc" way of describing what to do.
I've seen instances where people even did "wheel, operator" (extra
whitespace after the ",").
I think when we actually tell people what to use as the separator, then
we don't have to account for all kinds of varieties that users come up
with to separate the groups (semicolons?). Ideally, the whole adduser.sh
would be replaced by a sequence of bsddialogs (plus the parsing and
checking), but that takes a bit more effort.
Cheers,
Benedict
