[Adduser-devel] Bug#558260: --quiet doesn't make adduser quiet

[Chris Lamb]

Hi,

> --quiet doesn't make adduser  quiet

This is because whilst adduser respects --quiet for its own message, it
does not silence the call out to gpasswd:

   353     printf gtx("Adding user `%s' to group `%s' ...\n"),$existing_user,$existing_group
   354         if $verbose;
   355     &invalidate_nscd();
   356     my $gpasswd = &which('gpasswd');
   357     &systemcall($gpasswd, '-a',$existing_user,$existing_group);


Regards,
