What's your exact version of system-config-users ("rpm -q system-config-users")?
I see the same with system-config-users-1.2.41-0.fc4.1. Offending files & dirs are: /tmp/mapping-<user> /tmp/gconfd-<user> /tmp/orbit-<user> /tmp/xses-<user>.* I couldn't reproduce your problem with system-config-users-1.2.42 following this procedure: 1. create user test1 in s-c-users 2. login as test1 on second X server 3. logout test1 4. delete test1 in s-c-users 5. add user test in s-c-users (to ensure different user id for test1) 6. add user test1 in s-c-users 7. login as test1 on second X server This worked for me as expected, as step 4. didn't leave around any files owned by test1 in /tmp. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.3) Gecko/20050104 Red Hat/1.4.3-3.0.7 Description of problem: Suppose the graphical interface for "Users and Groups" is used to delete a users account (and home directory). Now create a new user account with the same name as that just deleted. Try logging in to the re-created account and you will find that the gnome desktop does not start -- just get lots of error messages and then the machine hangs (power-off was the only recovery I could find). The problem is that old lock-files are left in /temp that should have been deleted when the users account was deleted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. as above. 2. 3. Additional info: The problem is that old lock-files are left in /temp that should have been deleted when the users account was deleted.
