Bug Description
Binary package hint: system-
users-admin on a fully updated Jaunty system allows creation of an accout, called "admin" which in turns creates a new group "admin" in /etc/group, erasing old. Thus, any further system administration becomes impossible.
Account names like "admin" or "adm" must be disabled. Please fix!
