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 Ross Smith 2014-07-09 16:00:53 UTC
Description of problem:
When performing a kickstart installation, if a user is not created in the kickstart file, the option to create a user is available.  Once a user is created in the gui the option is then locked and cannot be modified.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
7.0-GA

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Perform kickstart install specifying root password but not creating a user
2.Complete summary hub 
3.click to continue installation

Actual results:
Can access the create user spoke to create a user but it's locked once one is created.

Expected results:
user account creation locked or unlocked completely. 

Additional info:
I'd prefer it to be locked as that's more secure, but I can see the argument the other way.  Perhaps a way to specify what things should be locked in the kickstart file would be helpful in the future.

Comment 2 David Cantrell 2014-07-23 20:01:29 UTC
devel_ack- for RHEL-7.  I understand the request, but this change is more appropriately worked upstream in Fedora where we can do a proper UX design and assessment and implementation.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2014-07-23 20:25:44 UTC
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.
You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.
