Adduser devel - Jul 2007 - Bug#432710: Annoying EXTRA_GROUPS example

Package: adduser
Version: 3.102
Severity: minor

The (commented out) EXTRA_GROUPS value in /etc/adduser.conf 1)
contains two copies of srv; and 2) doesn''t match the groups used by
debian-installer for the first user -- to whit, lp and src were added
and plugdev was missing.

ii  passwd                      1:4.0.18.1-7 change and administer password and
ii  perl-base                   5.8.8-7      The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis

Currently we have the following groups hardcoded:

"dialout cdrom floppy audio src video lp users"

I will change this to:

"dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev users"
