** Summary changed:
- [12.10] useradd is showing an "incorrect" error-message when not using sudo/root
+ [12.04] useradd is showing an "incorrect" error-message when not using sudo/root
** Description changed:
michael at Alien:~/foo$ useradd test
useradd: /etc/passwd konnte nicht gesperrt werden; versuchen Sie es später noch einmal.
(/etc/passwd cant be locked; please try again later)
-
it would be better if useradd is checking if it is executed as root and
if not, the error-message should show something like
- (/etc/passwd cant be locked; please try again later or run and use sudo
- to get access to that file))
+ (/etc/passwd cant be locked; please try again later and use sudo to get
+ access to that file)
