Bug#113191: [Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#113191: login: newgrp: can't change to groups added to /etc/group since login

[Nicolas François]

Hi,

The submitter must have edited /etc/group manually.  Jonathan David, can
you confirm?
(At least, I could reproduce it this way)


The bug doesn't show up if adduser is used to add the group (herge) to the
user (tintin) because /etc/gshadow is also modified by adduser.


Even if manually editing /etc/group is not recommended, I think that not
mentioning gshadow in the newgrp man page is a bug.


I will anyway update this man page, write a gshadow.5 man page and submit
then to Tomasz (this may close some gshadow related bugs).

Regards,
