Public bug reported: The user-admin dialog in Edgy doesn't show the "show all users" checkbox anymore, and only the users with UID > 1000 are shown. I can see how this may be regarded as a "feature", simplifying the interface, but in some cases may be quite annoying.
* test-case (my case): I'm adding a PC to a network with NFS shares; some users over the network have UIDs < 1000, and I need these UIDs to be preserved for NFS to work properly. When I change the pre-defined UIDs, those users are not listed anymore, and I have to edit their properties via console. * test-case 2: I'm just curious, or want to have a look to the complete list of users in a graphical fashion. users-admin was a good tool for that, when it was able to show all users. **WORKAROUND: sudo vi /etc/login.defs change UID_MIN to 1 this is not very clean, but I guess that if one needs to change automatically generated user-ids, he should also be able to take care not to assign "reserved" userids to normal users. ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- show all users checkbox is gone https://launchpad.net/bugs/70850 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
