Description of problem: system-config-user accepts no password in the add user dialog, and sets a default to none (i.e. you can su to account without password). When Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-users-1.2.110-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start system-config-user 2. Add a user 3. Enter only user name 4. Press OK Actual results: + a dialog pops up with the text "The chosen password is too weak: it is WAY too short. Do you want to use it anyway?" :) + you can su to the account without a password + there is /etc/shadow entry is: test:$6$F60HD7e6T0bE4Y2o$p9yL/avhPO8Fcfc2r0Pa3Ks2l6PVQTS4qXSf7JEIWgxAKJV3XEUR..X056fyPJAfc7u4utP1h7QlJxgYs87G31:15223:0:99999:7::: Expected results: I think the user should be added with the shadow password entry set to !! as the useradd does. Or the dialog should require a password
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
In my current version (system-config-users-1.3.5-1.fc20) the message is "The chosen password is too weak: No password supplied. Do you want to use it anyway?". So this sounds more meaningful. I can login without a password as the created user. Well, this seems rather to be about a point of view. If someone enters no password, then he might really intend to use no password (as he confirms the warning message). Personally I would add some checkbox option like "Disallow logging for the user" which would add the !! (and make the password fields insensitive and ignored) and still allow logging without password if no password is entered.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
