Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #311361, revision 3 Title: usermod - openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed + openSUSE Distribution: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) + reject date: 2011-07-19 11:54:43 + reject reason: see comment #1. Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: David Clarke (davidwilsonclarke) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The version of usermod included with SUSE 11.3 does not have the -a option that is included with most other versions of this command, on other distros. Although an -A option was introduced with 11.3, which is a neater way of adding a user to a group, it would be nice to also have the -a option, to make it compatible with versions in other distros. Discussion: #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2011-03-06 18:55:40) openSUSE uses pwdutils while those other distros (Fedora, Debian) use pkg-shadow. It is pretty much incompatible already (for example the meaning of -m is inverted). It looks like pkg-shadow received -a later than pwdutils, because pwdutils already has -A, -G and -R, the latter two of which you cannot find an equivalent in pkg-shadow. So I would not bother with adding -a for the sake of having -a. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311361
