I do not have a NIS system available, but I suspect that it is useradd which refuses to create a local user if a NIS user exists. adduser does not interface with any management system other than via the useradd family of programs.

I sent the mail to "adduser@packages.d.o". I indeed knew you are the maintainer but as, IIRC, adduser is a team effort, I wanted to send the information to the whole team. This is not the first time that a mail to <package>@packages.d.o fails to get an answer from the maintainer...strange.>=20 > > I reassign this bug to the package it > > seems to belong to.

Am I right=A0? If so, then we will play BTS tennis and reassign the bug to passwd, untag it, tag it upstream and handle this with shadow''s upstream. Given tht I also don''t have access to a NIS system, this may be tricky to track down....the first check being whether the bug is still here..:-) /me very sick of the status of shadow bug log....:-(

No worries.> Hmm, so what you''re saying is that even if the report was about > adduser, the real bug is a useradd bug because adduser only calls > it. Am I right ?Yes. adduser doesn''t add the user itself, it just relies on the underlying system mechanisms and uses useradd as a backend.> If so, then we will play BTS tennis and reassign the > bug to passwd, untag it, tag it upstream and handle this with shadow''s > upstream.Ok.
