An updated shadow-utils package that fixes a bug is now available.
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting
UNIX® password files to the shadow password format, as well as tools for
managing user and group accounts.
This updated shadow-utils package fixes a bug in which, when using either
the 'useradd' or 'usermod' commands, a simple typo resulted in the user
that was being added or modified to be added to the root group, even if
the root group was not specified with the 'useradd' or 'usermod' commands.
All users of shadow-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves this issue.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
