Package: webmin-samba Version: 1.160-3 Severity: normal In "Edit Samba users and passwords", at the screen "Edit Samba User", the checkbox "Account disabled" is checked by default for all users, giving no way to log in to the Samba server. Unchecking this box then saving does not enable the account and gives no feedback. The admin who unchecked and restarted the server will be thinking that the account is enabled. Only by accessing the "Edit Samba User" for that user again will the admin realize that the activation failed. The reason for this failure is that the password is empty (by default for all users) and (by default) "No password required" is not checked. The workaround is to either set a password or enable "No password required". Those workarounds are not obvious for real users that do have a POSIX password until the admin knows that the Samba passwords are by default empty, making that bug IMHO rather important.
Expected behavior The checkbox is disabled until "No password required" is enabled or a password is set. OR Webmin gives feedback if the modification required couldn't happen. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-k7 Locale: LANG=fr_CA, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages webmin-samba depends on: ii perl 5.8.4-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii samba 3.0.10-1 a LanManager-like file and printer ii webmin 1.160-2 Web-based administration toolkit ii webmin-inetd 1.160-2 inetd control module for webmin -- no debconf information
