Description Jeff Sheltren 2008-05-28 15:06:33 UTC

Description of problem:
After installing oddjob-mkhomedir, doing an 'su -' to a user from the root
account gives the following error:
# su - jeff
com.redhat.oddjob.Error.NoInterface: com.redhat.oddjob_mkhomedir
su: warning: cannot change directory to /home/jeff: No such file or directory

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
oddjob-libs-0.29-2.fc9.i386
oddjob-0.29-2.fc9.i386
oddjob-mkhomedir-0.29-2.fc9.i386

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable oddjob_mkhomedir by adding the following line to
/etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac:
session     optional      /lib/security/pam_oddjob_mkhomedir.so

2. As root, 'su -' to a user account.
  
Actual results:
Gives above error.  This error even shows up when su'ing to an account that does
have a home directory already.

Expected results:
Should create home directory for user if needed.

Comment 1 Nalin Dahyabhai 2008-05-28 17:00:59 UTC

Aargh.  Looks like I missed a couple of cases when redoing the naming of the
services, and forgot to have the subpackage tell the main service to reload its
configuration when the subpackage gets installed.

I'm building 0.29.1 to fix these problems.  Once the build finishes in koji
(http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=633561), please install them
and let me know if they fix this, so that I can work to get this version into
the updates trees.

Thanks!

Comment 2 Jeff Sheltren 2008-05-29 00:13:57 UTC

After installing the packages from koji, I am getting a different error:

# su - jeff
com.redhat.oddjob.Error.Exec: Child signalled exec() error: Unknown error 254.
su: warning: cannot change directory to /home/jeff: No such file or directory

By the way, the EVR of the package in koji is lower than what's already in F9...?

Comment 3 Nalin Dahyabhai 2008-05-29 16:05:04 UTC

Hmm?  0.29.1 is newer than 0.29.  Dan tells me this might be a policy bug,
adding him to the CC list and moving this back to 'assigned' state.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2008-05-29 17:37:11 UTC

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.3.1-59.fc9.noarch

Comment 5 Nalin Dahyabhai 2008-05-29 17:46:15 UTC

Okay, now that the SELinux-part's fixed in the policy, I'll be proposing 0.29.1
as an update.  Jeff, please jump in here if the combination of the updates
doesn't fix it for you.

Comment 6 Fedora Update System 2008-05-29 19:59:03 UTC

oddjob-0.29.1-1.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8

Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2008-05-29 19:59:10 UTC

Comment 8 Jeff Sheltren 2008-05-30 13:58:21 UTC

Nalin, sorry I misread the version numbers.

With the latest oddjob and selinux-policy packages this is now working fine. 
Thanks for your help!

Comment 9 Nalin Dahyabhai 2008-05-30 15:54:15 UTC

No worries.  If you have time, please note that the update works for you at
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/pending/oddjob-0.29.1-1.fc9  (If
enough people do that, I don't have to remember to move it from the testing area
to the final area later, because it'll be done automatically.)

Thanks!
