2006-10-04 13:41:52 Colin Watson user-setup: statusexplanation user-setup (1.2ubuntu4) edgy; urgency=low * Backport from trunk (closes: Malone #50036): - Detect and error out on reserved usernames, i.e. those that are already used by some parts of the system. Unfortunately there's no particularly straightforward way to identify a reserved username, and the only way I can think of is to maintain a blacklist; so I've collated this from the base-passwd master files and those user and group names I found on some of my systems. Feel free to extend this as the need arises. * Backport from trunk (Christian Perrier): - Spell "username" consistently. * Update translations from trunk. -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com> Wed, 4 Oct 2006 14:37:38 +0100
