Title:
reload_passwd uses fgetpwent rather than getpwent, ignoring
/etc/nsswitch.conf
Status in D-Bus interfaces for querying and manipulating user account
information:
Fix Released
Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In daemon.c, reload_passwd opens /etc/passwd and reads it with
fgetpwent. This only finds local accounts whereas using getpwent
would respect the settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf and also find
accounts provided via ldap, nis, etc. This means that login screens
(eg, lightdm) don't display the full list of users, only those in
/etc/passwd. All users are able to login, so this is an annoyance
rather than a serious problem.
accountsservice 0.6.14-1git1 in oneiric (haven't checked other
versions).
