Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
I did a fresh jaunty installation with all updates up to today.
Now I create a second User "testuser" with users-admin and I select
"Administrator" as profile. Now the new user is in the following groups:
testuser adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin
admin sambashare
My main user "martin", that has been created during the installation, is in
these groups:
martin adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
As you see the new user is in more groups than the default user, which
doesn't seem to be necessary as my main user apparently has enough
rights to do everything. This is confusing as the average user doesn't
know in which groups a "normal" user has to be. I think the set of
groups in which the default user is should be synced which newly created
users by users-admin.
The set of groups in the "Desktop" Profile is also different from the default
setup.
The version of gnome-system-tools is 2.22.1-0ubuntu3
