Description Andrea Luzzardi 2003-09-27 06:40:07 UTC

I've made a small patch which allows to put default groups on /etc/default/useradd instead of specify them every time using the -G flag while calling useradd.
e.g:
adding EXTRA_GROUPS=restricted,noserver to /etc/default/useradd equivals to -G restricted,noserver
