Fixed In Version: libguestfs-1.27.56-1.1.el7 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Using the "virt-sysprep" command to remove user accounts did not properly remove the user entries from the /etc/shadow file. With this update, the lens to parse /etc/shadow has been added to the Augeas tool and "virt-sysprep" makes use of it. As a result, removing users from guests using "virt-sysprep" removes also their entries in /etc/shadow.

As we discussed in Bug 1037166(Comment 13 and Comment 15), i file this bug to track this problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
augeas-1.1.0-13.el7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create user test1, test2, test3 in guest image rhel6.6.img 
2. Run:
#virt-sysprep --enable user-account -a rhel6.6.img 
3.Login guest, check file /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow

Actual results:

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-09-30 08:41:44 UTC
According to Pino this is fixed with the inclusion of
the /etc/shadow Augeas lens.  This requires augeas-libs >= 1.1.0-16.el7
which is a dependency of libguestfs >= 1.27.56-1.1.el7.

Comment 4 yuliu 2014-11-11 07:05:09 UTC
Version: libguestfs-1.28.1-1.9.el7.x86_64

It can delete the user account from both /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd.

Verified.
