[Adduser-devel] Bug#278937: adduser: typo and request for clarification in the manpages
--DocE+STaALJfprDB Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Package: adduser Version: 3.59 Severity: minor Hello, I posted some remarks regarding adduser''s manpages on: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/adduser-devel/2004-October/000095.html Marc Haber asked for a bug report because he could not fix it in a short period of time. I attach here a patch for points 1, 4, 5 and 6. The other points are: 2) In adduser.8, line 110, I don''t understand what the "master program" is. 3) In adduser.8, line 114, I don''t understand: If an user with an uid in the system range (or if the uid is specified, with that) does already exist, adduser will exit silently. BTW, some hyphens are not escaped in the manpages (which render searches and cut&paste more difficult on UTF-8 terminals). I can make a patch for this if you wish. PS: I will soon post a french translation of the manpages. It would be nice if you could mail debian-l10n-french@lists.debian.org if the manpages are modified, so I will be able to make an update for the same upload.
