This bug was fixed in the package gnome-system-tools - 2.22.2-0ubuntu4 --------------- gnome-system-tools (2.22.2-0ubuntu4) jaunty-proposed; urgency=low
* Created: 86_disable_existing_group_for_new_username.patch - disables the ability to create a new user whose name is owned by a perviously defined group, which, if allowed to happen, would overwrite the old group. If this happened to 'admin', for example, would render any system adminstration by sudoers impossible (LP: #236305). -- Jonathan Davies <j...@ubuntu.com> Wed, 15 Apr 2009 17:56:27 +0100 ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu Jaunty) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- Creating user with username 'admin' hoses admin group, sudo config https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
