+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #460298 +++ Description of problem: system-config-samba performs check whether user being added already exists in the samba database or not. But it doesn't check it against the list of real samba users, instead it checks it against the list of users who have unix-windows username mapping. These two lists are usually different. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-samba-1.2.41-3 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add user to samba, don't create username mapping (smbpasswd -a no-mapping) 2. add mapping for a user but don't add the actual user to samba (echo "mapped-user = alias" >> /username/mapping/file ; # the mapping file is /etc/samba/smbusers unless the "username map" option is used in smb.conf ) 3. add no-mapping and mapped-user users via system-config-samba Actual results: - mapped-user is not allowed to be added even though he doesn't exist in the samba user database - no-mapping user is "re"added - overwriting previous record Expected results: mapped-user added no-mapping user not added Additional info: system-config-samba behaves like this only when checking usernames while adding. It correctly lists all existing samba users when configuring shares or in the "samba users" window.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '10'. 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 10'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 10 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 to the applicable version. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Change version back to rawhide, add FutureFeature keyword so this bug stays open until it's fixed.
Thanks for taking the time to submit this request for enhancement. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to implement this feature, sorry for that. Because I don't actively develop system-config-samba anymore, I won't likely find the time to work on this ticket, so I'll close this bug now.
