Incorrect update of /etc/group when changing user's main group

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use?

Feisty Fawn beta.

I want to add that the users-admin program does not work correctly also in Ubuntu 6.10. In fact I want delete a group, before added using this tool, but the file /etc/group still has the information. I have had change it manually.

Thanks

what group change did you do exactly? the description is not clear

In my case I add a forti group because it was able to write in a particular samba partition and I associated this grouo to my user (all this using the user and gruop interface) . After I write in this partition, I decided to remove this group using the same tool. I remove the association of the group from my users (i haven't problems) and after I delete it. restart my machines but the group forti was not delete. It was not associate, but it was still there. I retryed, but nothing. I must done it manually. Thanks

@Massimo forti: concerning the forti group you're trying to delete. Are you sure it's not the main group of one of your users ?

If that's the case your bug is another problem I reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/155605

@csoler: when you change your main group, it changes nothing in /etc/group, it just changes the gid of your main group in /etc/passwd.

If you have a standard /etc/group, users GID is 100. Could you check that your GID in /etc/passwd is 100 ?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release?

Thank you,

Iulian
