Description Heiko Adams 2012-06-29 15:27:56 UTC
Description of problem:
LightDM offers the users "lightdm" and "root" for login in its userlist. But these users shouldn't be there because it should be impossible to login as these users.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lightdm-1.3.1-1.fc17.x86_64
lightdm-gobject-1.3.1-1.fc17.x86_64
lightdm-gtk-1.1.6-3.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
allways

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make shure lightdm is your displaymanager
2. reboot the system
3.
  
Actual results:
LightDM's userlist has entrys for "lightdm" and "root"

Expected results:
LightDM's userlist should only list "normal" users which can login

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2012-06-29 15:38:24 UTC
As far as I can tell, that's a bug elsewhere (accountservice?), lightdm.conf already contains:
...
[UserAccounts]
minimum-uid=1000

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2012-06-29 15:39:16 UTC
though I suppose adding those 2 to the explicit blacklist:
hidden-users=...
couldn't hurt

Comment 3 Christoph Wickert 2012-06-29 15:43:35 UTC
Last time I tested, munimum-uid was already enough. I guess Heiko is using an oudated config.

Heiko, can you make sure your config is up to date?

Comment 4 Heiko Adams 2012-06-29 15:51:35 UTC
I didn't change anything on my config so it should be up2date

my lightdm config

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2012-06-29 15:56:20 UTC
Oh sorry, the file I meant was
/etc/lightdm/users.conf

which has a comment about how accountsservice is used instead,

# NOTE: If you have AccountsService installed on your system, then LightDM will
# use this instead and these settings will be ignored

Comment 7 Gregor Tätzner 2012-06-29 16:01:41 UTC
 users.conf is ignored by lightdm if accountsservice is running. For some time now user filtering is based on login shell*

@Heiko is nologin on lightdm user set in /etc/passwd?

Comment 8 Rex Dieter 2012-06-29 16:06:01 UTC
In particular, what does this say?


$ dbus-send --system --print-reply \
  --dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts \
  org.freedesktop.Accounts.ListCachedUsers

for me, I get :
method return sender=:1.12 -> dest=:1.129 reply_serial=2
   array [
      object path "/org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1001"
      object path "/org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000"
   ]


$ rpm -q accountsservice
accountsservice-0.6.21-1.fc17.x86_64

Comment 9 Heiko Adams 2012-06-29 16:09:05 UTC
$ cat /etc/passwd|grep lightdm
lightdm:x:43:43::/var/log/lightdm:/sbin/nologin

$ cat /etc/passwd|grep root
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
operator:x:11:0:operator:/root:/sbin/nologin

$ rpm -q accountsservice
accountsservice-0.6.18-1.fc17.x86_64

What happens when you upgrade to accountsservice from updates-testing?

Comment 11 Heiko Adams 2012-06-29 16:29:15 UTC
Updating to accountsservice from updates-testing solves the problem

Comment 12 Rex Dieter 2012-06-29 16:36:16 UTC
OK, I'm conviced this is an accountsservice bug now, but looks like
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-9407/accountsservice-0.6.21-1.fc17
got pulled

and we have a new one pending:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/accountsservice-0.6.21-2.fc17

either fixes our particular problem here (for me, at least).

Comment 13 Gregor Tätzner 2012-07-02 06:46:53 UTC

Can you push this update also to f16? lightdm in f16 should be affected by this issue, too

Comment 14 Fedora Update System 2012-07-02 13:28:00 UTC
accountsservice-0.6.21-2.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-10120/accountsservice-0.6.21-2.fc17

Comment 15 Rex Dieter 2012-07-02 13:34:22 UTC
Re: comment #13

Testing on f16, I don't experience this bug with
accountsservice-0.5.15-3.fc16
do you?

Comment 16 Gregor Tätzner 2012-07-02 15:49:07 UTC
uhm...no. I don't have a f16 system here. But probably you are right and the old accountsservice version is not affected by this issue.

Comment 17 Fedora Update System 2012-07-02 22:29:09 UTC
accountsservice-0.6.21-2.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
