Fixed in 1.1.5-7 Fix confirmed for redhat-config-users-1.1.5-7. |
Description of problem: Symlinks are followed while removing the home directory in response to the remove home directory question while removing a user with redhat-config-users. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-users-1.1.5-5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create user 2. Create symlink to directory in path outside /home/$user 3. Remove user and select remove home directory Actual results: The symlink is followed and the directory outside the home directory is removed. Expected results: The symlink in the home directory is removed along with the directory leaving the files in /$other/$path intact. Additional info: I was not sure if this was my fault or a bug but the consensus on phoebe-list seemed to be towards bug.
