I've found an inconsistency in the man page for useradd command and how it work for me. Man page says that defualt gid for the new account is 1 if -g option is not used. I've created 3 account with the handbook procedure( http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=11 ) and a new group has been added for each user. These are my group and passwd: [code]# less /etc/group bin:x:1:root,bin,daemon laj:x:1000: lina:x:1005: oriana:x:1006: # less /etc/passwd laj:x:1000:1000::/home/laj:/bin/bash lina:x:1001:1005::/home/lina:/bin/bash oriana:x:1002:1006::/home/oriana:/bin/bash[/code] I think this can be related with the xsane problem( pleace, see this also, http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-509503-highlight-.html?sid=9a8215e3ec53de6dc11485134419578a )cause of the bin group ID is 1. But why we must have all these groups?
Not a security bug.
man useradd: <snip> The default group number is 1 *or* whatever is specified in /etc/default/useradd... </snip> So, kindly see what you've stuck in /etc/default/useradd. If you don't tell us *how* did you add those users (the exact command) noone will explain it to you. You also didn't post sys-apps/shadow version. Plus, bugzilla is not a support forum.
Ths is the line used for 3 different user: useradd -m -G users,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash john and as expressed in /etc/default/useradd the users have been added in the "users" group. However, typing man useradd is listed only : *** The default group number is 1 *** Il numero di gruppo predefinito

Nevertheless is not secure run xsane as root NeXT ~ # ls -l /usr/bin/xsane -r-sr-xr-x 1 root root 7112 15 giu 19:47 /usr/bin/xsane if you want if found the devices( as written in the support forum ). My shadow is the latest from the stable amd64 as NeXT ~ # emerge -pv xsane These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Take your xsane problem somewhere else, completely unrelated. Your italian manpage is incorrect, report it to the translator, thanks. Closing, the useradd behaviour is correct.
