It could manifest in different ways, but one particularly problematic for enterprise environments was the fact that processes were never getting group membership they were expected to get via pam_group module. [Test Case] * Add a /etc/security/group.conf entry, e.g. *;*;*;Al0000-2400;dialout,users * Add pam_group to your PAM stack, e.g. /etc/pam.d/common-auth * Login to the system and launch gnome-terminal (it will be launched via gnome-terminal-server launched by systemd --user + dbus). Expected result: Logged in user is a member of 'dialout' and 'users' groups. Actual result: no group membership gained from pam_group. [Regression Potential] * It introduces a new PAM warning message in some scenarios (e.g. for systemd DynamicUser=1 units) for users that can't authenticate (pam_setcred fails in such case). * In certain systems user group membership may be extended by pam_group. [Other Info] Original bug description: We are using Ubuntu in a university network with lots of ldap users. To automatically map ldap users/groups to local groups we are using pam_group.so. This has worked for years. With the upgrade from Xenial to Bionic /etc/security/group.conf is not evaluated anymore by gnome-terminal as it runs as systemd --user. Xterm, ssh, su, and tty* however do work as expected. Only the default gnome-terminal behaves different. According to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851243 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756458 this might not be a bug, but a feature. Nevertheless this behavior is very unexpected when upgrading from Xenial to Bionic and therefore should at least added to the changelog.
