Description Wolfgang Rupprecht 2007-06-07 22:43:26 UTC
Description of problem:

  system-config-users crashes with non-helpful error message.


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

   system-config-users-1.2.58-1.fc7.src.rpm

How reproducible:
For me, it is 100% reproducable.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type system-config-users<cr> 
  
Actual results:

[root@ancho ~]# system-config-users
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-users/system-config-users.py", line 46, in <module>
    mainWindow.mainWindow()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-users/mainWindow.py", line 238, in __init__
    self.userWin = userWindow.userWindow(self, self.userStore,
self.groupTreeView, xml, selinuxEnabled)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-users/userWindow.py", line 68, in __init__
    uidNumber, gidNumber = userGroupFind.find_uid_gid (self.parent.ADMIN,
self.parent.preferences)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-users/userGroupFind.py", line 48, in find_uid_gid
    uidNumbers = map (lambda x: x[libuser.UIDNUMBER][0], filter (lambda x:
x[libuser.USERNAME][0] not in high_uid_ignore, lu_admin.enumerateUsersFull ()))
  File "/usr/share/system-config-users/userGroupFind.py", line 48, in <lambda>
    uidNumbers = map (lambda x: x[libuser.UIDNUMBER][0], filter (lambda x:
x[libuser.USERNAME][0] not in high_uid_ignore, lu_admin.enumerateUsersFull ()))
KeyError: 'no such attribute defined for this entity'

Expected results:

I expected a gui window to pop up.

Additional info:

Someone that understands what this code is trying to say might want to send 
me a version with extra printf's around the failing code that prints the bad
line from the password file.

I'd expect this code not to exit even if some password file entries are empty. 
This is a bit of an over-reaction.  If it does need to exit it would hopefully
print a more meaningful error message that includes the failing data from the
file it was parsing.

Comment 1 Nils Philippsen 2007-06-08 08:19:21 UTC
The problem with that line is that it deals with the whole number of users at
once. The KeyError above probably means that either the username or uid number
is missing from a user's entry. I've checked in a slightly changed version of
the above code to make debugging easier into upstream CVS. You can check out the
CVS version like this:

cvs -z4 -d :pserver:anonymous.com:/usr/local/CVS co
system-config-users

It'd be helpful if you could run that version (change to the src/ directory, run
./system-config-users.py as root) and post the traceback which should show
better what exactly fails. If you could attach a sanitized version of your
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (e.g. replace password with "<password>", mark the
attachment as "private"), that would be great as well.

Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2007-06-08 08:41:47 UTC
NB: that command is one line

I've tried to attached sanitized versions of the passwrd,group,shadow files.
I'm pretty sure the password file was a mistakenly restored file from the fc6
filesystem.  I was just trying to use system-config-users to have a peek before
blowing it away and getting the clean fc7 password files from a twin system that
has had all the same packages installed in the same order.

I didn't immediately see how to mark the attachments as secret.  It shouldn't
matter much.  Only ssh with RSA passwords is allowed here.


Comment 7 Nils Philippsen 2007-06-08 19:44:17 UTC
I've marked the attachments as "private" now.

Comment 8 Nils Philippsen 2007-06-08 21:03:59 UTC
Line #4 in the shadow file has no counterpart in /etc/passwd, you might want to
remove it as a workaround. I still plan to do something about the robustness of
system-config-users, though.

Comment 9 Wolfgang Rupprecht 2007-06-08 21:31:56 UTC
Thanks for the workaround.  Reverting to a clean password file did the trick.

I'm now seeing a different problem on my other x86_64 fc7 machine.  This problem
is also shared by yum, which also errors out with a similar cryptic error msg
pointing to a problem with a lock error.  This problem seems to 
occur on the main server when it is up for more than 6 hours.  Selinux is 
set to "permissive".  As a work around I'll try to set it to disabled.

Comment 10 Nils Philippsen 2007-06-09 08:42:42 UTC
At that point, system-config-users tries to check if the policy-sources package
is installed. Apparently there is a problem with your RPM DB -- you might want
to try rebuilding it ("rpm --rebuilddb").

Comment 11 Andre Costa 2007-06-12 00:49:35 UTC
I have a similar problem (error messages are slightly different, problem here
seems to be GID-related):

I encountered the same bug as Andre. It is the exact problem above, but this
time the extra entry was in /etc/gshadow. I located that entry, removed it and
the problem was gone.

However, system-config-users crashing everytime it finds an unmatched entry is
/etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow is still an annoying bug, specially if you edit
these files manually.


Comment 13 Nils Philippsen 2007-06-27 08:53:10 UTC
Version 1.2.59 is building right now in Rawhide which should contain fixes for
your problem. As it's a noarch package, it shoud be no problem to install it on
an F7 system for testing.

Comment 14 Nils Philippsen 2007-07-02 08:53:32 UTC
Version 1.2.60 is building for F7 updates-testing, please test it once it hits
the mirrors.

I just checked back and the mirrors now had the

"yum --enablerepo=updates-testing list system-config-users"  doesn't show it.
Am I using the command?  Its been a few days so I'm wondering if I'm not 
understanding where it is supposed to show up.

Comment 18 Nils Philippsen 2007-07-09 08:42:15 UTC
I see 1.2.60 in updates-testing with the command you tried. Perhaps your mirror
is a bite late with synchronizing the repositories? If all else fails, you can
comment out the "mirrorlist" directive for updates-testing and enable ("comment
in"?) the "baseurl" directive, but ensure to undo that change as you don't want
to always pull from the master.

Comment 19 Fedora Update System 2007-07-16 17:01:21 UTC
system-config-users-1.2.60-1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 20 Wolfgang Rupprecht 2007-07-17 18:59:42 UTC
I just tested it after the yum update and I still see some bail-outs without 
a good indication as to why it bailed.

Comment 21 Nils Philippsen 2007-07-18 13:31:08 UTC
Hmm, would have been good if we caught this in updates-testing...

Comment 22 Wolfgang Rupprecht 2007-07-18 13:38:14 UTC
updates-testing must be the worlds slowest build system.  I checked for the 
update on 2007-7-2 and several times after that.  There was never anything there
to test.  After several iterations of that I decided if redhat wants me to test
it  they will send me mail *after* the program actually is available for testing.

Comment 23 Nils Philippsen 2007-07-18 14:31:49 UTC
Wolfgang, I guess you blame the wrong party... If you pull from mirrors (which
is done with the usual configuration), you always have a lag between when the
files are published on the master and when the mirrors syncs. Sometimes mirrors
even sync from other mirrors which makes this even worse. However, neither Red
Hat nor the Fedora Project as a whole has any influence on that.

In the case of updates-testing, directly pulling from the master as I described
in comment #18 should have worked for you as the files were definitely published
on the master at that point. If it wouldn't have worked you could have pinged me
and I would have tried my best to help you.

That's water down the bridge, though ;-). I've (hopefully) come up with a fix
and to verify this one, please pull the source directly from the upstream repo
(you need to have mercurial installed for that):

hg clone http://hg.fedoraproject.org/hg/hosted/system-config-users

Then change into the system-config-users/src directory and run
"./system-config-users.py" as root. Please report back whether this fixes things.

Comment 24 Nils Philippsen 2007-07-19 13:19:18 UTC
Wolfgang, have you already had a chance to test the fix? Or do you feel more
comfortable testing whole packages -- in this case I would bake one  for
updates-testing and post a link to it here.

Comment 25 Gustavo Maciel Dias Vieira 2007-07-19 13:50:01 UTC
The current version (system-config-users-1.2.60-1.fc7) handles spurious entries
in /etc/shadow perfectly, with a very informative message. But it barfs on
spurious entries in /etc/gshadow.

Also, the version in the upstream repo still barfs for me:

Comment 34 Nils Philippsen 2007-07-20 07:02:30 UTC
Wolfgang, You can pull & update in one go with "hg pull -u".

The libglade warnings are to be expected when running out of the source tree.

Gustavo, thanks for spotting this, I really forgot the parentheses around the
list of exception types to catch.

I think I only need to catch IndexError in these instances and I've done this in
the repo. Pleas try if this fixes the problem.

Comment 35 Wolfgang Rupprecht 2007-07-20 18:03:12 UTC
Better.  It now starts up and presents the add/del user and add/del groups
screens.  One minor wart, it doesn't print the name or ID-number that it is
objecting to.  That makes the reequest to "please fix" a bit challenging without
writing a different homegrown script.

"I couldn't figure out the numerical ID for one or more users or groups. In  
most cases this is caused by inconsistencies in the user or group database, e.g.
between the files /etc/passwd, /etc/group and their respective shadow files
/etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow. I will try to ignore these entries and continue
for now, but please fix these inconsistencies as soon as possible."

Comment 36 Nils Philippsen 2007-07-20 19:58:53 UTC
Please check the current repo code, it should list the offending users and/or
groups if it find inconsistencies.

Comment 37 Nils Philippsen 2007-07-20 20:00:18 UTC
"finds" even...

Comment 38 Wolfgang Rupprecht 2007-07-20 20:07:16 UTC
Looking good!  It finds and reports valid inconsistencies.  The inconsistencies 
are benign, so I'll leave them for a while in case you want me to do more testing.
In my case there were a few extra entries left in /etc/gshadow that had been
removed from /etc/group.

Comment 39 Nils Philippsen 2007-07-23 09:01:12 UTC
Building system-config-users-1.2.61 which should hit updates-testing shortly.
Please test this one.

Comment 40 Fedora Update System 2007-07-23 15:45:56 UTC
system-config-users-1.2.61-1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 41 Gustavo Maciel Dias Vieira 2007-07-30 15:37:16 UTC
Fixed for me in system-config-users-1.2.61, both for /etc/shadow and
/etc/gshadow. Thanks!


Comment 42 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 12:54:48 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists.

Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/

The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
