editting /etc/libuser.conf and setting LU_SHADOWMAX = 90 had no effect on the user created using redhat-config-users either. Created attachment 106051 [details]
Patch r-c-users so it honors defaults set in /etc/libuser.conf (or in libuser itself)
I've built redhat-config-users-1.1.18-3 which fixes this problem -- it doesn't honor login.defs but libuser.conf -- and opened an erratum for it. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2005-440.html |
Description of problem: The redhat-config-users should use the defaults for password aging as shown in /etc/login.defs since that option is not available during user creation. It is known that such an option is available after the user is created by accessing the properties of the user. But the tool should accept the defaults for portions of user creation which are not able to be set at creation time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add line "PASS_MAX_DAYS 90" to /etc/login.defs 2.create a new user using the redhat-config-users tool Actual Results: line in /etc/shadow file looks like: test:$1$z0aIfTjx$OMl7w.IlZyy01E2Ac.jRg1:12649:0:99999:7::: note expiration of 99999 Expected Results: line in /etc/shadow file looks like: test:$1$z0aIfTjx$OMl7w.IlZyy01E2Ac.jRg1:12649:0:90:7::: note expiration of 90
