Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
2.18.1-0ubuntu1 (feisty)
after adding a user and modifying group relations, the users-admin didnt start
again (without reboot)
trying to figure out what happend i tried to sudo to root, and it sayed your
not allowed !
After rebooting with a knoppix cd, i figured out /etc/group was emptied
(groupnames in there as in gshadow, but no users that belong to any group!)
To workaround, i inserted myself into group admin again, rebooted, and then
used the users-admin to add the three users which are using the system in the
regual groups feistys users-admin permission tab gives me.
I think there were other (system) users (like lp) that did belong to a
group, but i no longer have the possibility to check how it was before,
because group- is just one step back, and there were already all group
relations gone.
Personal Question: how should a clean group file look like, or where do
i get one, to reintegrate systemuser to systemgroups relations ?
