Thanks for the reply
> 1. Group management and groups membership
That's a bug, a new added user should be part of the standard needed groups, we need to build a list of those (using what the old tools was doing would be a start) and change the standard and admin profiles to match what is needed
> 2. Support for profile ?
similar bug, the admin profile should add users the right groups
> 3. Home directory
we can discuss with upstream adding that option somewhere in the ui though it seems rather a non standard use to me
> 4. Shell
there is a bug open about that I think, the default user shell should not be "sh"
> 5. User Id
We should perhaps include user creation to deja-dup in some way if that's the usecase there, I'm Cc-ing mterry to the bug in case he has an opinion about that
Well, it seems that your issues is mostly that the default profiles have not been adapted to use the right groups on Ubuntu added with some bugs, I think that having the profiles right would catch most of the normal use. It's likely that upstream will argue against adding extra features like the user id or the user directory to the options because they will see that as administrators features and the control-center is supposed to be a normal user configuration tool, not a detailled administration utility.
