Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
I've set up several machines running Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 which are integrated in an Active Directory Network (ADS) controlled by a Windows Server. I did this using samba and winbind, and now these machines can be used with local and domain accounts (domain accounts are not listed in /etc/passwd but are managed by winbind). To allow some domain users to gain administrative privileges I added them manually to the admin group with 'adduser'. After that, if you use System -> Administration -> Users and Groups to add a new user or delete an existing one, all the domain users (not local users) which were granted admin rights will lose their privileges. This happens because they are deleted from the admin group in /etc/group. The problem does not occur when using the command line utility (adduser). This bug was originally reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/26338 (comment 57) and is related also to this upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=489187 It may be considered as a second test case, as described in these bugs. ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- users-admin deletes privileges granted to ADS domain users with the command line utility (adduser) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164475 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
