[Bug 252351] Re: provide some info about users and file permissions

[ceg]

This kind of information would be perfect for presentation by the
installer during the copying phase.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: debian-installer
  
  Following is a little informative text for the "set up users and
  passwords" stage:
  
  ---
  
- The informational text suggested is updated under "User's perspective"
- on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiUserManagement
+ The informational text suggested is now updated under "User's
+ perspective" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiUserManagement
  
  ---
  
  Things that ease collaboration further:
  
  create:
  /etc/skel/priv or private (drwxrwx---)
  /etc/skel/incomming (drws--s-wt or something)
  /home/shared/users (drwxrwsr-x root:users)
  
  For the latter to work /etc/security/groups needs to contain
  "*;*;*;Al0000-2400;users" then all users will automatically belong to
  the "users" group on systems with private user groups)
  
  (a /etc/skel/public might be misleading, so we leave this one out)

** Also affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- provide some info about users and file permissions
+ provide some info about users and file permissions (while copying)
