[Adduser-devel] Bug#323395: Error in manpage for adduser.conf(5)

[Christoph Ulrich Scholler]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.63
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The manpage of adduser.conf(5) describes a configuration variable
USER_REGEX, which doesn't exist in the program.  If it is set in
/etc/adduser.conf, adduser complains about an unknown configuration
variable.

A variable named "name_regex" exists and fits the description in the
manpage.  I have attached a patch.
