I am able to make users on that same snapshot without issue, and there have also been a few commits to that file since that snapshot.

You might have to backup your config, edit out the broken user entries you have there, and then restore it (or use the config history to back up to a point before those users were created)

Wait for a new snapshot and try again. One should be building shortly, and will probably be uploaded sometime this evening.

Today I have refreshed to last snapshot, but it has not helped.

It seems to me that at creation of the user, the group with the user name tries to form, but does not form.

In a configuration there are such strings (hashes removed):

                <group>
                        <name>all</name>
                        <description><![CDATA[All Users]]></description>
                        <scope>system</scope>
                        <gid>1998</gid>
                        <member>0</member>
                        <member>2000</member>
                </group>
>>>             <group/>
                <user>
                        <name>admin</name>
                        <fullname>System Administrator</fullname>
                        <scope>system</scope>
                        <groupname>admins</groupname>
                        <password>xxxx</password>
                        <uid>0</uid>
                        <priv>user-shell-access</priv>
                        <md5-hash>xxxx</md5-hash>
                        <nt-hash>xxxx</nt-hash>
                        <expires/>
                        <authorizedkeys/>
                </user>
                <user>
                        <scope>user</scope>
                        <password>xxxx</password>
                        <md5-hash>xxxx</md5-hash>
                        <nt-hash>xxxx</nt-hash>
                        <name>mike</name>
                        <fullname>Mike Stupalov</fullname>
                        <expires/>
                        <authorizedkeys/>
                        <ipsecpsk/>
                        <uid>2000</uid>
                </user>
                <nextuid>2001</nextuid>
                <nextgid>2000</nextgid>

But in a file of groups any group has not appeared also any user has not formed.

In addition I have saved POST data (for another user):

utype=user&usernamefld=test&oldusername=&passwordfld1=qwerty&passwordfld2=qwerty&fullname=Test&expires=&name=&caref=4bfbc5524e8cf&keylen=2048&lifetime=3650&authorizedkeys=&ipsecpsk=&save=Save

Also at removal of the user, it is not deleted from group 'all'.

I have found, where an error:

auth.inc have this line (289)

 $user_op = "useradd -m -k /usr/share/skel -o";

But in system there is no directory '/usr/share/skel'
Probably at upgrade it did not form.

But the empty group all the same appears, and the user is not added in one group. :)

Looks like /usr/share/skel was being removed by the builder (it was in the remove.list) so the files weren't making it into the iso and update files.

I fixed everything to move to /etc/skel and made it so the builder won't remove the files. The builder is in the middle of a run now so the next snapshot won't have the fixes, but the one after it should.
