*** Bug 133805 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Created attachment 113723 [details]
The patch to fix the leading space problem
This patch fixes the the leading spaces problem for usermode-1.68, but should
be applicable to usermode-1.70-2 as well.
Should this be moved to 'devel'? (I don't think we're likely to patch this for FC2.... while root passwords are security-related in an inherent sort of way, it's basically a bug fix. Even if it is a sensible good bug fix.) Nope, this is fixed already in devel for some time. This won't affect security at all, note that the patch actually prevents usermode from deleting leading spaces from passwords, what is pretty odd as the authentization will work with any authentization tool with passwords with leading spaces but not with usermode. I strongly recommend to patch the FC2 version of usermode as the bug seems to be very annoying in some cases. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 133805 *** I'm not authorized to access bug #133805. Does that need to remain locked? |
