Description

When setting some other attribute on an existing user, like so:

user { foo: groups => [‘bar’, ‘baz’], membership => minimum }

The existing GECOS / comment field gets reset to the ‘default’ value, ‘Foo User’, instead of what I’ve already set it to.

Personally, I don’t see the point in diddling with GECOS at all, so the attached patch just removes the default value stuff. If that is deemed inappropriate, I suppose we’ll just have to make sure that the GECOS field in the existing entry overrides the default value, but I don’t know how to do that.

The reason I’m doing this is because Darwin gets all pukey when users don’t have this field set.
