From my gnome panel it is in the menu: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups I felt a bit guilty after I submitted the bug for not doing any more testing. I felt that I had jumped to conclusions. But thinking back something bad must have happened because I had "Users and Groups" open when I installed sshd, because the privilege separation user was definitely missing after I installed sshd. For me it looked like one of the two applications I had open (the sshd install and "Users and Groups") was editing /etc/passwd and /etc/group directly rather than using the API's. Using usermod, etc would reduce the chance of contention. Please let me know if I can help out with this in any way.
