Description of problem: See upstream gnome buds https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675780 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414862 Gnome gdm feature described in final paragraph here: https://help.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/security.html.en#PAM has been missed from the fedora gnome implementation. This is despite it's apparent inclusion in redhat gdm git tree here: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/tree/data/pam-redhat/gdm.pam at line 3. Unfortunately, simply adding that line (or file) to /etc/pam.d/gdm and/or /etc/pam.d/gdm-password in f18 is no longer a fix as it was in f16. Please would fedora fully implement gdm to allow this feature to work as intended. See discussion of security issues here: http://markmail.org/message/2h5isyf3kip6updb#query:+page:1+mid:pa6lrzmwdtbol5it+state:results Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm.x86_64 1:3.6.2-5.fc18 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create group nopasswdlogin 2. Add user to nopasswdlogin group 3. There should not be a prompt for password at login, but there is.... Actual results: Enter password Expected results: Do not enter password Additional info: Sorry it's taken a while to file the bug, but it was easily fixable in f16 and now it isn't in f18
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 to Fedora 18's end of life. 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 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
