Uh, oh, I got that feeling you know ;-)

Seriously, exactly as you write I was seeing the user being added to his primary private group.

"adduser tester" produces this group entry: "tester:x:1006:"
where users-admin produced: "test:x:1005:test"

I had experienced much trouble before because of another tool not using adduser (with its hooks). (probably why I got suspicious so quickly)

Thank you for your response and feedback.

(Strange you're right, maybe adduser once belonged to base-passwd and the doc didn't get updated?)
