adduser and defaults groups




I recently installed Debian Sid on an Inspiron 5160. I noticed that the user I added during the installation (NetInstall CD) was a member of various groups: dialout, audio, cdrom, plugdev, etc. But a new user I added later using "adduser <username>" command was not. I had to make it a member of these groups using the "adduser <username> <groupname>" command.

Was I supposed to use the "--system" option while making the second user?
