Unfortunately, that does nothing to solve the problem of
mis-information being added to the list archives.
There is no mis-information on the original message. My purpose
for writing the message was to see if anyone felt the same as me
about the problem caused by checking all the choices in the thing.
stop lying, karl. seriously, just stop it. your original post did
not just "see if anyone felt the same as me". and i quote from
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-December/msg00927.html:
Snip
I just re-started Users and Groups and clicked on Edit and
preferences and put an x in each of the spaces provided. Then I clicked
on Help on the top and then Help Contents and neither came up.
The main panel shows nothing but my user data. This is what I saw
when I first tried to make me a Group member of uucp. I could find
nothing that has a thing to do with uucp! When I click on my line it is
just about my login. I gave up.
I used #usermod karl -a -G uucp and that worked. It made karl a
member of group uucp.
Went back to Users and Groups trying to verify that usermod did the
trick. This time I clicked Edit again and saw preferences and clicked on
that. I saw all the things with an x in them and thought this must be
right. But just to be sure I removed all the x's.
To my amazement all the Users and Groups were displayed. I found
uucp and with the Group tab saw karl,uucp were group members. So it
worked. I pretended not to have my karl in the uucp group and clicked on
the uucp group and up came a Group properties window. It would be simple
to find karl on that list and put an x in that line.
So my two problems with this tool is the lack of help and the way it
is found the first time you use it.
There needs to be a way to tell the people working on this
application what is wrong. It is not a bug but it needs to get to them.
