Description Torquil_Gault 2002-05-13 00:53:13 MDT

if you run this command on HP-UX (v11.0) it adds all groups to the user and not
just what are specified:
   sudo useradd -m -d "/home/x/xxx" -c "XXX User" -g group1 xxx

if you run this as root then it only adds it to the right groups ......

That sure sounds like a bug in useradd, not sudo.  Could it be taking the default for secondary groups from the invoking user?  If so, that would be very strange.  You might run "useradd -D" and see what your defaults are set to.

Unable to reproduce on a patched HP-UX 11.00 system.
