Bug#248145: kuser does not use adduser, might do policy violations



Package: kuser
Version: 4:3.2.2-1
Severity: normal


kuser seems to edit /etc/passwd, goups etc. directly
rather than through adduser or useradd.

Following behavour seems related to this and might
be problematic:

-- User private group IDs != UIDs
-- Deleting a user does not delete UPG
-- kmail copies a complete .kde directory into new users home
   (should be handled by kde itself on firs login)

Regards,
Christian
