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.
Kind Regards,

Nekral
