Bug Description
Binary package hint: adduser
Default profiles could be shiped for admininstrator, desktop and unprivileged users.
Currently different frontends have implement and configure user profiles differently, easily leading to inconsistencies when users are created with different tools. Even if they use adduser to create users, they have override much, somtimes even IDs.
Simply by making /etc/adduser.conf a symlink and maybe package two or three default profiles all tools would have a way to share and choose between the same profiles and would use the same defaults.
summary: |
- Ship adduser with user profiles to unify their handling by different - tools + Ship adduser.conf as symlink to user profiles to unify their handling by + different tools |

In order to mimic the user profiles currently shiped with gnome-system-tools:
* mv /etc/adduser.conf /etc/adduser. conf.unprivileg ed
* create adduser. conf.desktop EXTRA_GROUPS= 1
- with EXTRA_GROUPS="cdrom floppy dialout tape dip adm plugdev fax audio scanner fuse video"
- andADD_
* create adduser. conf.administra tor
- with EXTRA_GROUPS="cdrom floppy dialout tape dip adm plugdev fax audio scanner fuse admin sambashare lpadmin video"
- and ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS=1
* ln -s /etc/adduser. conf.desktop /etc/adduser.conf
