I noticed the following "quirk" the other night when setting up some
new accounts with adduser. One of the fields requests the GID for the
new account with a default value of 100. If you type another value,
it is accepted at that point, but when adduser prompts "Is this correct?",
the presented GID is always 100 and is always written to /etc/passwd as
100. As a result, every time I want to set up an account whose primary
group is not 100, I have to manually edit /etc/passwd. Is there a newer
version of adduser available or perhaps suggestions for better handling
this situation? This adduser is the one which I received with the A set
of the Linux 1.1.59 Slackware distribution.
