Bug 66071 – enewuser in eutils.eclass doesn't handle multiple groups properly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John Hampton 2004-10-01 16:18:40 UTC]

The enewuser function fails when trying to assign a new user to multiple groups.  The problem is the use of the -g flag to useradd instead of -G.

Line 682 is:
    opts="${opts} -g ${egroups}"
should be:
    opts="${opts} -G ${egroups}"

I think this was fixed the other day by vapier.  cvs log says:

revision 1.107
date: 2004/09/29 15:16:42;  author: vapier;  state: Exp;  lines: +18 -3
support multiple groups properly

My cvs copy uses -G.

My last comment was correct, so closing.
