ok strange.
because of the failure i didn't expect logcheck there anyway.
but all my debian systems just show
$ getent group adm
adm:x:4:logcheck

are you using ldap or any other fancy group db backend?


also what does this cmd run as root show:
# adduser logcheck adm

 
are you using selinux or any other security tool,
which disable root capabilities?

thanks for your feedback - hope we can nail that down.

ok guess it's bug #284688 from adduser.

what does cmd return?
$ getent passwd adm

adm is not a user on none of my running Sarge system.
that means that doesn't return anything.

don't know why it was added to your /etc/group
could you please handedit it (if aboves assumbtion is correct)
the adm line should look like that:
adm:x:4:root,daemon


then please rerun:
# adduser logcheck adm

with your adm line i could reproduce your error.
i guess we should reassign and merge that bug with aboves.

thanks for a confirmation.
