They can perfectly use different policy files in /etc/pam.d, so they need to be treated separately. And i don't see how this could be related to your kernel version (securettys?).

So the original problem should be an update issue linked to PolicyKit1. The black map issue has been fixed upstream and I'm keeping track of it as bug 406211 (with an unrelated crash). Thanks for reporting anyways! James: Much thanks for your help triaging those bugs, getting my list clean would r

Not my problem! ;-) More seriously, I've checked that we're doing our work correctly, and it appears that this figure comes from /etc/login.defs, which is shipped by the package 'login'. So, if you think that's an issue, please report a bug against that package. -- problem with big uids in "User

You could try the following procedure, which will help but won't really tell us what's the root problem: - run users-admin for the first time - type 'ps ax | grep -i backends' - reproduce the procedure once again This way we would know if the tools are started the first time, possibly with a dela

Another try to get this reviewed? Launchpad has not updated the upstream report status, which has been fixed for a long time actually.

Thanks for these detailed considerations and for the patch. Though the fix is even simpler, and we already did this recently so that we don't fail if home dir or shell fields are empty. Since perl is nice, returning back a NULL password is not a problem to it, since it's converted to the empty stri

You got me. ;-) I should have read that comment. You seem to master how all these settings work. So you think it's safe to allow people to choose UIDs up to MAX_INT? I'll see what I can do, but that will require a new version of the backends accepting that before the GUI can do that, else we're go

Well, if your clock shows the right time, then no chance the current bug can raise fsck issues. I don't think the time can become incorrect because of the crash, since the system settings should not be modified. -- time-admin crashed with SIGSEGV in strcmp() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406211
