Creating users with added groups fails on primary
-
I have two identical clusters using local user database (passwd/group). I have one 2 system HA cluster running 2.0.3. Another 2 system HA cluster running 2.1.3. The both experience that same thing. What I do to one I also do to the other at a backup site.

FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p16When adding a new user with 2 groups the primary ends up without the added groups and the secondary ends up with the users added to the groups (via sync).
An error log on the primary reveals that the userid does not exist when the group was added. It seem like either the group change is done before the user add or the useradd takes time so when the group change comes along the user add is still in process.
I haven't test 2.2 preview.

The /etc/group does not show the user added to the group.
The way I fix it is after creating the user I remove the groups from the user. Save. Add the groups back. Save. After that the group has the user assigned in /etc/group. I haven't tried just adding the groups after creating the user but I suspect that would work as the user definitely exists at that point.
