I have reproduced the issue with gnome-system-tools in jaunty,
2.22.2-0ubuntu3, and have verified that the version in jaunty-proposed,
2.22.2-0ubuntu4, does not allow the creation of a user id that matches
an id that exists solely in the group database (pulse-access is another
example of this).
Running Jaunty 64 and it works. Tested for users that indeed exist.

This patch for Jaunty checks if the group_exists() and returns an error
saying the 'user' exists if it does. It blocks the creation of users

Hi Jonathan,
thanks for the workaround.
However, I would like to suggest that the groups are checked for
existance instead of an hardcoded check for admin since it would be an
similiar problem if someone would add a user named scanner, pulse,
gdm syslog or any other name that is equal to an

Also marking for hardy. This sounds like a good SRU. However, I'm not
happy with the patch yet:
- It introduces new strings, which needs to be avoided for i18n reasons.
- Hardcoding admin sounds wrong to me. Shouldn't it rather just check
whether the user/group already exists? The current code

Creating user with username 'admin' hoses admin group,
Just as you wrote, Björn. I've faced the bug on 8.04.2.
This is some kind of stupid joke not to check system groups before creating
user one.

from bug #26338:

while choosing a name ended up calling this new user admin.
Stupid decision as it was, I'm to blame
kde overcomes this problem by adding '_#' to the usergroup in case it
allready exists. (ie 'admin_1').
The same problem would btw arrise as soon as you add a new user with any
name where a group with this name (gui1) already exists. So in any
case gnome shoul first check, if the GUI allready

I just had this issue on 8.10.
To clarify: As a result of creating the user admin in the users-admin
program, the admin group in /etc/group gets replaced by a new admin
group with a new gid. All of the users originally part of the admin
group are obviously no longer a part of the admin group.
I can also confirm this bug and I have a basic idea how to fix it:
if the GUI just checks if the group it creates already exists and if so errors
or searches a solution or whatever, it should work.
So I guess this has to be forwarded to GNOME or is this up to ubuntu ?

Maybe a middle solution would be, that the admin user created by
default, but locked like root.

Looking at the source, I think this snippet:
