System: NetBSD helicon.int.bsdinsider.org 5.99.8 NetBSD 5.99.8 (GENERIC) #0: Mon Mar 16 06:57:43 PDT 2009 builds@wb37:/home/builds/ab/HEAD/i386/200903160002Z-obj/home/builds/ab/HEAD/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
	When usermod is called with '-g =uid', usermod should change the
	user's group id to match the uid (which it does now), and it should
	create a group with a gid that matches the uid of the user and a
	name that matches the user name.
>How-To-Repeat:
	/usr/sbin/useradd -u 10000 test
	<test user added to /etc/passwd with gid 100>
	/usr/sbin/usermod -g =uid test
	<test user gid changed to 10000, but group not added to /etc/group>

	Note: the usermod binary must be built from version 1.123 of user.c
	or newer (i.e. March 20/09 or newer) or it will fail in a different
	way.
>Fix:
	Add group in the usermod or moduser functions in src/usr.sbin/user.c.

	I may put together a patch shortly if no one smarter than me beats me
	to it...
