+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #222540 +++ Description of problem: The --append long option does not seem to work at all. The equivelent -a option does work. I'm leaving this as normal severity rather than low Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): shadow-utils-4.0.3-66.RHEL4.1 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. groupadd -r sound 2. usermod -a -G sound mikedlr 3. usermod --append -G sound mikedlr 4. usermod -a -G sound mikedlr Actual results: the second and fourth command complete correctly and silently. The third step outputs the usage information from usermod Expected results: according to manual page and usermod --help, --append option should do the same as -a Additional info: I'm leaving this as normal severity since an important script might be depending on this. --- Additional comment from mvyynqbgerqungqbgpbz.yeuhc on 2007-01-13 12:01:19 EST --- Created an attachment (id=145529) actual session showing usermod failing to work --- Additional comment from pvrabec on 2007-01-14 08:39:00 EST --- fixed in shadow-utils-4.0.17-12.fc6
There are no long options for usermod in shadow-utils-4.0.3 at all. This behaviour is correct.
