Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
Hello,
I added a new user (Desktop-user). This user did not get a new group, nor was it added to the "users" group. Instead, it was added to an existing user's group. To be more concrete: The primary user, created when first installing the system, was "mstoll" who also had hos own group "mstoll" (uid: 1000, gid: 1000). When I later added another user "shaile", no new group was created. Instead, shaile was added to group "mstoll" (gid 1000). uid is 1001 as expected. This might be related to bug #83373 and bug #71394. If not careful, this allows new users to access potentially private files from a previous user!
