adduser asks for password 6 times, am I owned????



Hi All,

This one is troubling me.  It can't possibly be right, can it?

This is the output from me adding a user with adduser.

I had to enter the password in 6 times.

root@debian:~# adduser foob
Adding user `foob'...
Adding new group `foob' (1007).
Adding new user `foob' (1007) with group `foob'.

Changing the user information for foob
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
        Full Name []:
