[Bug 814270] Re: first user created on the system needs to be in dip group

[Timo Jyrinki]

It seems for me this prevented usage of Mobile Broadband on oneiric via
Network Manager. Is there some reason mobile broadband is working on new
installs for some people, or is this really broken for everyone but not
much reports?

Title:
  first user created on the system needs to be in dip group

Status in “base-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I hope base-installer is the correct package for this report.  If not,
  please reassign.

  The first user created during installation of the base system is in
  the dialout group among others.  /usr/bin/pppd has group ownership of
  dip not dialout and this is by design.  The first user needs to be
  added to dip group as well for proper functioning of pppd connections.
  This is a fairly long-standing problem.
