This should be fixed in system-config-users-1.2.45 which should hit Rawhide/development shortly. Can you please try whether system-config-users-1.2.45-1.fc6.noarch.rpm fixes that problem once it hits the mirrors? You might revert to your older version of s-c-users as this version contains a new uid/gid number choosing implementation that isn't toroughly tested yet. I need some help from you for the testing, as I didn't in the past. I use the Yum Extender for my RPMs. For my tests I have got a pc with a fc5 x86_64 at this time. Which are the steps to install system-config-users-1.2.45 on my fc5 for testing? Yum Exteder tells me: Removing for dependencies to firstboot and system-config-boot. Must I uninstall system-config-users-1.2.42 first? You'd have to download the package from e.g.: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/system-config-users-1.2.45-1.fc6.noarch.rpm Afterwards install it with yum (not yumex) like this: yum localinstall system-config-users-1.2.45-1.fc6.noarch.rpm Or rather system-config-users-1.2.46-1.fc6.noarch.rpm, as it contains numerous fixes over 1.2.45. I imported the key for my x86_64 pc with yum: rpm --import http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/x86_64/os/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-test I downloaded the file from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/x86_64/os/Fedora/RPMS/system-config-users-1.2.46-1.fc6.noarch.rpm Installed from local: yum localinstall system-config-users-1.2.46-1.fc6.noarch.rpm I got the error message: Package system-config-users-1.2.46-1.fc6.noarch.rpm is not signed How to install the package? Unfortunately, Rawhide packages are regularly not signed. To install the package, you need to temporarily change gpgcheck=1 to gpgcheck=0 in /etc/yum.conf, then install the package, then change it back. I tested and it works fine. The unused group numbers (which were free) I used later to create new test groups. I tried to give them used group numbers and got an error message, that's OK. I can create new groups with the unused numbers. I think that you fixed the error like descripted. ------------------------------------------------------------------ There are an other problem, but I don't know if it's a bug or a wish: 1. Existing user moving into an other primary group: If I move an user into an existing other group and make it to his primary group, the groups in the home directory will not be changed. (Remark: If I change it with Konqueror it makes bugs. All files in the home directory go to 0600.) 2. Creating new user: It should be possible to select ANY GROUP when creating a new user. At this time you only can create a new user with an own group or in the group users. Please write me, what I shall do with the 2 last positions. Thanks Please open separate BZ tickets for each of them, using the FutureFeature keyword. I opened Bugzilla Bugs 201499 and 201500 for the last 2 positions. Do you close this ticket or must I do it? |
