@Renzo Bagnati: I think your problem is a different one. Your AD users don't exist in /etc/passwd and unfortunately, the system- tools-backend only know how to retrieve information from /etc/passwd, so your AD users are considered invalid.
When the "Users and Tools" configuration panel retrieve the members of a group, it only gets the valid ones. When you modify the group configuration, the whole /etc/group file is rewritten without the "invalid" ones as "Users and Tools" doesn't even know about them. The same bug should happens with a NIS setup I think. I think the good solution is to have system-tools-backend use the getent command rather than parse the /etc/passwd file. But maybe you should file a separate bug for this. -- Adding a user to a group modifies other users' groups and passwords https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26338 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
