Issue #4460 has been updated by Joe McDonagh.
I am against this. I'd like to see this discussed more in-depth, especially why such a change is necessary when the man page specifically states adduser is a frontend to useradd. If people is already using the low-level tool, without significant issue on debian and derivatives, why add another layer of complexity? ---------------------------------------- Bug #4460: adduser should be used to add user on Ubuntu/Debian instead of useradd http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4460 Author: Mathias Gug Status: Needs more information Priority: Normal Assigned to: Mathias Gug Category: user Target version: Affected version: Keywords: Branch: If a user is created via puppet useradd is called. The recommendation on Ubuntu and Debian is to use adduser instead.
