Pushed to gdm packaging branch. Thanks Milan, and sorry that this took
so long! At least it comes in time for the LTS :)

Update PAM policy to allow password-less logins set up via users-admin
Thanks! Right, that took quite a long time - I first started to think
about that about two years ago... But LTS is what matters.
lumbricus: could you open a report about the configuration bug you
describe, and post the link here? I'm not sure that will be an easy one
to fix, but better keep track
There is a problem with passwordless logins and the default
configuration of karmic: you can't change the language (and whatever
you'd like to configure in GDM), because the buttons are hidden until
you choose a user...
Don't know if it's possible to display the buttons also before selecting
a
Using Ubuntu 9.10 I just added manually the new line from the patch to
/etc/pam.d/gdm:
auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin
And afterwards I created the usergroup:
sudo addgroup --system nopasswdlogin
Then the option in Users and groups wasn't greyed out anymore and
The rationale behind this feature vs. the standard nullok_secure way is
that *you actually have a password*. This means users can be admins,
type their password to use sudo, PolicyKit or lock their screen, but
they are not asked to type it on login. They can additionally connect
over local SSH for
The pam_unix module in Ubuntu supports granting access to passwordless
accounts by way of the 'nullok_secure' option, which says: accounts with
a null password field are allowed access, as long as the connection is
on a secure tty (defined by /etc/securetty). This is already in
effect by default

Given that this was supposed to be fixed before Karmic release, the fix
is known, and we've now shipped a greyed-out checkbox to users, is this
likely to get fixed in Karmic, or should I tell my dad to expect it in
Lucid only?

MichaelEvans: Your bug was about a use case that we don't consider as
valid. There are other means of achieving the same thing (password-less
account), which we consider as better for everyone. So I could mark your
bug as Invalid, or as a duplicate of this one, which should also allow
you to do
Sorry, I was trying to clarify potential use cases, both for passwords
with and passwords without sys-admin capabilities. Editing accounts is
probably some other bug... all the usability issues that I see as
related actually collections of different bugs. Each bug a small piece

Also, I just noticed when going to file the other wishlist bug... Why
was my bug linked to GDM as a duplicate? I specifically chose the

Update PAM policy to allow password-less logins set up via users-admin
My use case is different. My parents are near retirement and just want
a super-easy-to-use computer; that means security via physical access
only. Accounts are merely a preference filing system to them.
Password-less accounts in the admin group are a questionable thing; but
if that's what the

I didn't know this was implemented upstream already (didn't check
before, actually).
This is something many people ask for when I install Ubuntu for them,
e.g. to allow young kids to use a computer without needing to enter a
password, while still preventing them from destroying their mom dad's

Another try to get this reviewed? Launchpad has not updated the upstream
report status, which has been fixed for a long time actually. The gnome-
system-tools also have this in Karmic for more than a month. What's the
point in adding new features upstream if distributors don't follow?
We're going

Sorry Sebastien, but I've checked the file gdm.pam in gdm

includes the required line, but AFAIK it's not used.

Woops! A good start would be to get group names right... Anyways, there
was also a tabulation problem, the new patch uses spaces for aligns.
