Creating the username 'wheel' fails

[cviorel]

This is an edge case, but when creating the username wheel, the installer will error out:

Should use this instead:
useradd -m -g wheel {user}

in installer.py

The issue would be that -g sets the initial group and it needs to be created first. At least in this edge case :)

If anything, perhaps we shouldn't add all users to wheel as this (potentially) gives unnecessary privileges?

Administration group, commonly used to give privileges to perform administrative actions. It has full read access to journal files and the right to administer printers in CUPS. Can also be used to give access to the sudo and su utilities (neither uses it by default).

-G is correct here as the intended outcome is to add additional groups aside from the users default group.. but perhaps we should drop it all together?

[cviorel]

To keep the current working scenario, we could do something like grep -qE "^wheel:" /etc/group || groupadd wheel && useradd -m -g wheel {user}.
But I guess we can assume the wheel group always exists.

As a personal preference, I would not add every user to the wheel group.

It looks like this was addressed by #3293.
