Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vladimir Benes 2011-03-10 15:10:14 UTC
Description of problem:
my users directories in /home which was attached to my clean installation in anaconda changed their owner and group to test:cgred 500:500

so after adding user XY I had to change all attributes back to XY which is really annoying ..    

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nightly build 20100309.n.1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.have a /home dir that have user XY
2.install new system
3.add user XY and log into Gnome
  
Actual results:
gnome has no permission to write into XY dir

Expected results:
all permission should be persistent

Additional info:
have seen it again after x86_64 kernel -120 crashed I've rebooted to i386 -119 (this new install)

uff that's caused by different UID/GID

Just FYI, basesystem is just dependency metapackage with no content - so please try to find out better component next time for such cases... :)
