Re: [Bug 26338] Re: Adding a user to a group modifies other users' groups and passwords
My machine was a fresh Dapper Drake install. The users in question were all newly created ones. I created users, then created groups. Then I started adding users to groups. After I exited the admin tool and saved the changes I went to configure the printer and could not. I tracked it back to rights issues with root - sudo was failing also. I don't believe it happens in the command line user admin tools - I used those to undo the damage. I recently tried v7.04 as a test drive and it had the same issue.

Re: [Bug 26338] Re: Adding a user to a group modifies other users' groups and passwords
Hmm Well it has been a while since I looked at it but all I did to create the bug was use the GUI user-admin too to reassign a user to a group. I noticed after that that directories the users should have had access to they did not. Further investigation showed that they were not in the groups I'd put them in and I had to reset root's password to be able to run sudo to fix things.

Re: [Bug 26338] Re: Adding a user to a group modifies other users' groups and passwords
Charles, Thanks for the updates. It's been at least 8 months since I looked at this but I guess it is still not fixed. I had to drop Ubuntu since this bug meant it failed (miserably) my company's security criteria. thanks again, David On 7/12/07, Charles Twardy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > ** Attachment added: "Fixed-up /etc/group file" > http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8449998/fred2 > > -- > 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 direct subscriber > of a duplicate bug. > -- 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
Re: [Bug 26338] Re: Adding a user to a group modifies other users' groups and passwords
Martin, Any updates on this bug and when it will be fixed? All I see on Launchpad is that it has been marked as critical. I am still getting emails from other users that it is a problem and it seems a pretty critical one. Because of some of my company requirements until this bug is fixed I can't use Ubuntu but would like to.

Martin, Thanks for the update. I'd kinda forgotten about this. :) David Green On 12/12/06, Martin Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > David, your last concern is bug 59946, and in the process of being > fixed. > > -- > Adding a user to a group modifies other users' groups and passwords > https://launchpad.net/bugs/26338 > -- Adding a user to a group modifies other users' groups and passwords https://launchpad.net/bugs/26338 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
Re: [Bug 26338] Re: no automounting due to wrong hal group memberships
Martin, Something else that concerns me about this bug is that after I was removed from 'admin' and did not have had admin rights I was able to change root's password via the User/groups management. I had to do this to be able to su to root so I could add myself back to 'admin'. At the time figured I'd try it since it was easier than booting the Live CD. However I should not be allowed to change root's password, even if I am an admin user. I can write this up as a separate bug. thanks, David Green On 10/10/06, Martin Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Please see bug 64698 comment; gnome-system-tools should totally not > touch the passwords and properties of *all* users in the system, just > the one that was actually modified.

Martin, I appreciate the quick response.I use Dapper Drake - 6.06 LTS. thanks, David Green On 10/10/06, Martin Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Please see bug 64698 comment; gnome-system-tools should totally not > touch the passwords and properties of *all* users in the system, just > the one that was actually modified.
