Bug#630643: adduser: Cancelling with Ctrl+C still adds entries to /etc/{passwd, group}
Package: adduser Version: 3.112+nmu2 Severity: normal Cancelling adduser part way through the creation of a new user results in entries being written to /etc/passwd and /etc/group. This behaviour is a) not what is normally expected when using Ctrl+C to cancel a command, and b) results in a potentially unconfigured but still existant user and group on a system. The script should be modified to only write to passwd/group files *after* a user confirms with ''Y''. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, ''testing''), (700, ''unstable''), (1, ''experimental'') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages adduser depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0 1.5.39 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-3 change and administer password and ii perl-base 5.12.3-7+b1 minimal Perl system adduser recommends no packages.
