[Bug 26338] Re: Changing users randomly affects other users and group memberships
Running Intrepid 8.10 i386. Made the decision of adding another user with admin privileges. However while choosing a name ended up calling this new user "admin". Stupid decision as it was, I'm to blame entirely, but the Gnome "Users and Groups" accepted without further notice. In the next boot I found out that all my sudo privileges had gone (the group "admin" vanished). Entered the root terminal, fixed things up (I was happy to find a valid group copy in an old /etc directory, just for comparison), but kept wandering if a dumb decision like mine shouldn't be forbidden, some user names just prohibited. -- Changing users randomly affects other users and group memberships https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26338 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 26338] Re: Changing users randomly affects other users and group memberships
I tried to reproduce this bug with the dapper version without success. Dapper has quite a different architecture, there is no sytem-tools- backends yet, and all changes done to users-admin are written to the PAM files atomically at program exit. Also, the code is quite different, so that the patches do not apply at all. Restarting users-admin between adding and removing the users also works correctly for me. Can someone reproduce this test case on dapper with some variation? Otherwise I will ignore dapper for this SRU. ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu Dapper) Status: New => Incomplete -- Changing users randomly affects other users and group memberships https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26338 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 26338] Re: Changing users randomly affects other users and group memberships
After discussion with upstream, fixing the second test case (parallel usage of adduser) is too intrusive to fix for stable releases. It will be fixed eventually in Gnome 2.21. So let's confine this SRU to the first test case of only using g-s-t for user administration. This is the proposed changelog: gnome-system-tools (2.20.0-0ubuntu2) gutsy-proposed; urgency=low * Add debian/patches/23_users_update_model.patch: - Update the internal model of users and groups with each operation, so that it does not become inconsistent with the real world in /etc/passwd and /etc/group. - This fixes random errors like "unrelated user was dropped from group admin", "deleted a different user than the one selected in users-admin", etc. - Patch backported from SVN head: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-system-tools?view=revision&revision=4017 - LP: #26338 -- Martin Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 11:26:21 +0100 Attaching the corresponding dpatch. I verified that with this patch the test case is fixed. ** Description changed: Impact: gnome-system-tools does not keep its internal model of users and groups consistent with the real world in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group. This leads to errors like deleting a different user than the one you chose in the UI, dropping unrelated users from groups like admin (thus making the system inaccessible for administration), and similar effects. Fix: Update the internal world model with each operation, done in http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-system-tools?view=revision&revision=4017. This needs some serious backporting for Feisty and earlier, I suppose; it should apply well to Gutsy. Regression potential: The bug could not be fixed fully, there might be more places which need update calls. Potentially the patch could mess up the pam db even more. TEST CASE: 1. launch users-admin 2. create a test1 user 3. create a test2 user (with admin rights) 4. create a test3 user 5. delete the test1 user 6. delete the test3 user This will either cause test2 to not be in group admin any more, or be deleted in step 6 instead of user test3. - - Another one: - 1. launch users-admin - 2. create test1 user in users-admin - 3. "sudo useradd test2" in terminal - 4. create test3 user in users-admin - 5. "id test2" will show that user test2 has been nuked. ** Attachment added: "gutsy dpatch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10350298/23_users_update_model.patch -- Changing users randomly affects other users and group memberships https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26338 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
