Bug #70202 for Setup-Unix-User: Allow creating user without creating group with the same name as user

Wed Aug 10 17:11:06 2011 AGORMAN [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Thank you very much for writing this module and taking the time to read this bug report. I'm on irc.perl.org if you would like to discuss. The documentation for member_of doesn't match the implementation. The documentation reads as follows: --------------------------------------------------------- member_of => array List of Unix group names that the user must be member of. The first element will be used as the primary group. If a group doesn't exist, it will be ignored. If not specified, the default is one group having the same name as the user. The group will be created if not already exists. The code on line 156 always adds the username as a group regardless of what is specified in the member_of ArrayRef. --------------------------------------------------------- push @$member_of, $name unless $name ~~ @$member_of; It's desirable for me to be able to add a user to an existing group and not have that a group be created with the same name as that user.

You're welcome. Implemented in 0.07 via a new option 'primary_group'. User needs to be a member of at least one group, but now you can set it to another group other than the one with the same name as the user. -- sh
