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).

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.	Story Points:	---

Description Lingfei Kong 2014-09-05 10:47:51 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1138630 +++

Description of problem:

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create user test1, test2, test3 in guest image rhel6.6.img 
2. Run:

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.
