If you create a user in the advanced window, you should leave the text entries in the create user screen empty. |
Description of problem: During a clean install of Fedora 14 using the standard interactive setup it is not possible to create the first user ("Create User" scree) using a custom uid/gid. I want to create the initial user with a uid=1024/gid=1024 because that those numbers are my sttings on a NFS mount. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 14. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Fedora setup on a new system 2. On the "Create User" screen, enter the username "toto" 3. Click "Advanced..." (as suggested by the text), system-config-users 4. In system-config-users, create user "toto", uid=1024, gid=1024 5. Close system-config-users 6. Click "Forward" Actual results: - The setup asks: "A home directory for user toto already exists. Would you like to continue, making the new user the owner of this directory and all its contents? Doing so - When clicking "no", the user is blocked on the "Create User" screen (not possible to skip the screen) - When clicking "yes", a user "toto" is created with uid=500,gid=500 overriding the uid/gid selected by the user. Expected results: The setup should detect that the given user has already been created in system-config-users and not try to create it anyway. The password fields should not be required if the user has been created in system-config-users. Additional info: The same problem happens when the user has been on the screen after "Create User" ("Date and Time") and clicks on the "Back" button: the user must delete the previously created user with system-config-users before clicking on "Forward". The workaround is to create
