Bug 157096 – sys-power/nut - nut user is not added to nut group correctly

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE

[Description phceac 2006-12-04 06:08:40 UTC]

Nut user is not added to the nut group.

I think it is due to lack of quotes in the enewuser command.

To fix my system, where this ebuild has already been merged, had to use gpasswd to fix it.

Additionally, it seems that the hardcoded uid and gid (84) should be changed to -1 as in http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/users-and-groups/index.html  (this fix is not included in the diff below)
