Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

GNOME's unlock screen will avoid locking if it thinks the user has no password.  accountsservice incorrectly says the user has no password for remote users.

We need this fix:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/commit/?id=631c57790fe79ee70d79522eb1b3e461e2899d82

user: treat NULL shadow entry as "password handled remotely"

Right now we set the password mode of a user based on the password hash in shadow. SSSD (and other remote login facilities presumably) don't send the password hash over the wire to the client, but of course those users do have a password set. This commit changes the code to notice when there's no shadow entry for a user and treat that case conservatively (assume user has a password).

Though, if bug 1019488 goes through, we can just close this bug, since 0.6.35 includes the fix.

(bug 1019488 went through, so we can close this one too)
