+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #717115 +++ etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc:MinShowUID categorizes UIDs as system/user using a hard-coded value 500. Please use UID_MIN from /etc/login.defs for this; we plan to change the boundary; this could perhaps be done by extending kdm to parse /etc/login/defs. file for a default value of this setting, then removing this setting from kdmrc. See attachment 510191 [details] for the proper way to parse /etc/login.defs. Please let me know if you want me to prepare a complete patch. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde-settings-4.6-10.fc16 kdebase-workspace-4.6.80-1.fc16 --- Additional comment from than on 2011-07-21 05:46:27 EDT --- Miloslav, patch is always welcome ;-) thanks --- Additional comment from k.georgiou.uk on 2011-07-21 06:37:33 EDT --- system accounts are the ones below SYS_UID_MAX not below UID_MIN. UID_MIN is only the minimum that useradd uses, external user accounts (ldap) can still be below UID_MIN. --- Additional comment from mitr on 2011-07-21 07:07:45 EDT --- (In reply to comment #2) > system accounts are the ones below SYS_UID_MAX not below UID_MIN. UID_MIN is > only the minimum that useradd uses, external user accounts (ldap) can still be > below UID_MIN. Similarly, external system accounts can be outside of the SYS_* range. kdm considers each account to be either a system or user account, there is no "unknown" category.
Created attachment 519510 [details] Define kdm's MinShowUID==-1 to mean "system default" The attached patch implements this functionality for kdm: * Add kdm-minmaxuid.[ch] to consolidate UID-related defaults, eliminating code duplication and platform dependencies from kcm_kdm and genkdmconf. * In config.def, document that MinShowUID==-1 means "use platform default". * In kdm-minmaxuid.c, default MinShowUID to -1 on Fedora/RH systems if /etc/login.defs exists. Add interpretMinUid() helper to handle the "-1" value by reading /etc/login.defs or referring to preexisting defaults. * In the "Users" tab of kdm_kcm, allow MinShowUID value -1, and document it in a tooltip. * In kdm_kcm, genkdmconf, and kgreeter, call interpretMinUid() to handle the "-1" value.
it's fixed in rawhide, kdebase-workspace-4.7.1.
Looks like the patch here was inadvertantly not applied, really added to 4.7.1-2 build now.
