Bug Description

Binary package hint: userconfig

I used userconfig in kubuntu 10.10 to create a new user. It did create a new group for that user but failed to give the group a name and also didn't add the user to the group in the end.
In my /etc/group I had a line ::1001: in the end.

How to reproduce:

* Press 'New...' in User tab
* in the new user dialog that popps up, delete the Primary Group entry:, so it's empty
* Confirm with 'Ok'

==>

[0]root@alleehol:~# tail -1 /etc/group
::1002:

That the primary group is not properly validted is especially dangerous, due to the fact that the 'primary group' entry is selected by default when the dialog comes up.

 Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
