how do you know that the system is in "first time setup" state ?
and even if we are in that state , why /gnome-initial-setup /would create local user account !?
Thanks .

Hi

Possibly first time setup ( for new installs) . I don't have immediate access to a fedora box. These can be restricted via policykit afaik.

Cheers

    hello
    I use about a hundred fedora19 stations in computer labs at our school
    users accounts comes from an ldap directory and the homedir is
    automounted via NFS.
    However, recently I noticed that on some stations, local user
    account had been created !
looking at the log file, I discovered in /var/log/secure something like this:

    /accounts-daemon: request by system-bus-name ::1.733
    [/usr/libexec/gnome-initial-setup pid:15259 uid:991]: create user
    'foobar'//
    //useradd[29724]: new group: name=foobar, GID=1001//
    //secure-20131117:Nov 15 17:16:43 b3-4 useradd[29724]: new user:
    name=susana, UID=1001, GID=1001, home=/home/susana, shell=/bin/bash//
    //secure-20131117:Nov 15 17:16:43 b3-4 useradd[29724]: add
    'susana' to group 'wheel'//
    //secure-20131117:Nov 15 17:16:43 b3-4 useradd[29724]: add
    'susana' to shadow group 'wheel'/

    Scary ! how comes gnome-initial-setup could create users, and
    morever add them to the wheel group !
    could it be a bug in /gnome-initial-setup , /a feature side effect
    ? or our students found a "back door" ?
    any suggestion greatly appreciated .

    Thanks .
