Description Radek Vykydal 2024-02-21 10:15:51 UTC
Since yesterday we are seeing error messages like this:

23:48:42,466 CRIT groupadd:shadow: unknown configuration item 'PASS_CHANGE_TRIES' in '/etc/login.defs'
23:48:42,466 CRIT groupadd:shadow: unknown configuration item 'PASS_ALWAYS_WARN' in '/etc/login.defs'
23:48:42,466 CRIT groupadd:shadow: unknown configuration item 'HMAC_CRYPTO_ALGO' in '/etc/login.defs'

making our installer functional kickstart tests failing.

For more details see https://github.com/rhinstaller/kickstart-tests/issues/1061



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run installation with rawhide boot.iso (https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso)
2.At the end of the installation look at the journal log in a terminal or at the /var/log/anaconda/journal.log on the installed system.
Actual Results:  
CRIT error messages in the log

Expected Results:  
No error messages in the log

The issue started to appear with this change in the shadow-utils version:
733,734c733,734
< shadow-utils-2:4.14.0-6.fc40.x86_64
< shadow-utils-subid-2:4.14.0-6.fc40.x86_64
---
> shadow-utils-2:4.15.0rc2-1.fc41.x86_64
> shadow-utils-subid-2:4.15.0rc2-1.fc41.x86_64

The installation seems to finish successfully in spite of the messages, not sure if the installed system has any issues related to the messages.

We need more a guidance about what to do with the tests now: are the messages going to disappear, should we ignore it, ...?

Thank you

You can ignore these messages. Due to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/LibuserDeprecation several configuration flags were changed and some unintended effects are happening. I will try to remove the messages, but that's going to take some time because the code complex in this area.

Comment 3 Radek Vykydal 2024-02-22 07:33:16 UTC
Thank you, works for me, we updated our tests to ignore the messages for now.
