No. There may have been an effort to add a user 'laptop' quite some time ago (this machine went from dapper thru lucid). I have my 'Users Settings' to show all users & groups & there is no 'laptop' in either. $ cat /etc/passwd shows no 'laptop' user, nor does 'groups laptop'. $ getent passwd laptop results in nothing. $ ls -l /etc/passwd /etc/shadow -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2694 2010-04-05 11:24 /etc/passwd -rw-r----- 1 root shadow 1717 2010-04-05 11:24 /etc/shadow $ grep passwd /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: compat (group & shadow show the same). I do however have a user 'gg-laptop'. These are the getent for the standard users: g...@gg-main:~$ getent passwd gg-laptop gg-laptop:x:1003:1002:gg-laptop,,,,:/home/gg-laptop:/bin/bash g...@gg-main:~$ getent passwd gg gg:x:1000:1000:gg-main,,,,:/home/gg:/bin/bash g...@gg-main:~$ getent passwd gg2xp gg2xp:x:1001:1001:gg2xp,,,,:/home/gg2xp:/bin/bash $ getent passwd ggserv ggserv:x:1004:1003:ggserv,,,,:/home/gg-server:/bin/bash g...@gg-main:~$ getent passwd ggxg ggxg:x:1002:1000:ggxg,,,,:/home/ggxg:/bin/bash g...@gg-main:~$ getent passwd ggxp ggxp:x:1005:1005:ggxp,,,,:/home/ggxp:/bin/sh -- pam_unix(gdm:auth): conversation failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
