Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping These changes in the git repo attempt to create the home directory and give an error message if unsuccessful:

Attempt to mkdir home directory instead of using os.access().
The access system call may erroneously assume that a directory is writable
(e.g. in autofs roots, procsfs, sysfs, ...). Rather than special-casing
affected file systems, simply try to create the home directory -- libuser
copes well with existing directories.
Seems fixed, I cannot enter home directory as "/home/kate;rm -rf /*" (shows message that the directory cannot be created). Actually it cannot be created because the '/' in the name is considered as directory delimiter and it attempts to create a directory "*" in non-existent directory "kate;rm -rf ". I can still enter something like "/home/kate;rm -rf *", then directory "kate;rm -rf *" is created. Is this okay? Or creating a directory named like this should be considered illegal (and checked for)? Agreed, closing. And sorry for the long wait. |
