We either need to fix this issue or revert the pam changes outlined in bug 244688. Otherwise we will drive support volume with the errors in /var/log/secure. I'm not sure what "setup" can do about this... group audio is "registered" in the uidgid file, some package (pam? gdm?) just needs to "groupadd" it, right? Or setup could just add audio to the default /etc/group file, but the update of setup won't help since this file is obviously config(noreplace); only new installations would have group audio in /etc/group. Setup works as expected - in RHEL-5 audio group is registered in uidgid, but not created. In Fedora it is in default /etc/group (#458843), but package which actually uses it - e.g. udev - for the case of updates, which can't be handled by setup, so reassigning to udev. As Radek said - adding group audio to the default /etc/group file will not work for updates - and having post/postun scriptlet in setup is very fragile due to dependencies ... Harald - what do you think? As udev is widely used and aproved for 5.4, it could probably be created there... why not make gdm the "console user" ?? then all devices will be owned by it # echo gdm > /var/run/console.lock; pam_console_apply and before the new user is granted login: # rm /var/run/console.lock This would fix all of your problems... no need for group audio |
