Public bug reported:
adduser and deluser are now printing to stderr 'sent invalidate(passwd)' and
'sent invalidate(group)'.
These are confusing at best and new in bionic.
See below. They do not seem harmful, but not wonderful.
smoser@ubuntu1:~$ sudo adduser guest
Adding user `guest' ...
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
Adding new group `guest' (1001) ...
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
Adding new user `guest' (1001) with group `guest' ...
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
The home directory `/home/guest' already exists. Not copying from `/etc/skel'.
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
Changing the user information for guest
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
Full Name []: Foo Bar
Room Number []:
Work Phone []:
Home Phone []:
Other []:
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
Is the information correct? [Y/n]
smoser@ubuntu1:~$ sudo deluser guest
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
Removing user `guest' ...
Warning: group `guest' has no more members.
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
Done.
