From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9 Description of problem: Hello, if I use redhat-config-users the homedirectory wasn't created. I doesn't do something other then on ix86. The RPM seems not been created/compiled for S390 (noarch). Because off that no error is displayed and it is a binary, I'm not able to say what's going wrong. Kind Regards Falko Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-users-1.1.18-1.noarch.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open "redhat-config-user" 2.create a new user 3.check "create homedir" 4.homedir="/home/<username>" 5.click "ok" Actual Results: user was created /home is empty Expected Results: user and homedirectory should been created after hiting the "Ok"-button Additional info: every input would show the same
Just checking whether I get this correctly: You are trying to add a user on an s390 box (31 or 64 bits?) and it fails to create the home directory, right? As you noticed, the package is noarch because it doesn't contain architecture specific stuff. The binary you are referring to is probably /usr/bin/consolehelper (/usr/bin/redhat-config-users is just a symlink to it) which is used to let ordinary users run the tool, then ask for the root password and then run the real tool which is /usr/share/redhat-config-users/redhat-config-users and everything else in the same directory. If you want to take a look, please do there ;-). Just for the record: I tried to reproduce this on x86, but it works as expected (creates the user's homedir).
Sorry an Isue with Lotus Notes on RedHat for zSeries does take my time so I couldn't test until now. Al i got from my user was that he not us "/home/<uerid>" because it should be an user for a deamon who should have his homedir linked to the applikationdirektory, sorry for the wrong informations. Now I tested a little bit and all I got was: redhat-config-users libuser fatal error: lu_homedir_populate() called with non-NULL *error/usr/share/redhat-config-users/redhat-config-users: line 4: 29068 Aborted /usr/bin/python2.2 /usr/share/redhat-config-users/redhat-config-users.py So it should be a problem in redhat-config-users, isn't it???
This rather seems like a problem in the underlying libuser package. Which version of that one do you have?
This should be fixed in the upcoming RHEL 3 update 4. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 135625 ***
