** Summary changed: - Adding a user to a group modifies other users' groups and passwords + Changing users randomly affects other users and group memberships
** Description changed: - Nothing to do with 3270 but couldnt post with real problem package which is - pmount......? + Impact: + gnome-system-tools does not keep its internal model of users and groups consistent with the real world in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group. This leads to errors like deleting a different user than the one you chose in the UI, dropping unrelated users from groups like admin (thus making the system inaccessible for administration), and similar effects. - Overall description: My TAT CODISK 2.0 and MP3 player SigmaTel MSCN Music Player - and and CDs I put in my cd drive will not automount. This problem is repeatable - and mostly consistant. Having searced forums and this site it is similar to bug - #23770. This problem emerged after adding a new desktop user to the system and - changing the primary user password and has only occured on one of the two Ubuntu - systems I have. - Having worked through bug #23770 I have tried all the suggestions and am able to - mount USB drives with the command pmount -d /dev/sda1. - Attached is the terminal output from this command and from the id command. + Fix: + Update the internal world model with each operation, done in http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-system-tools?view=revision&revision=4017. This needs some serious backporting for Feisty and earlier, I suppose; it should apply well to Gutsy. - Steps to reproduce: This problem is reproducable with both kernel versions I - run: 2.6.12-9-686 and my main kerenel 2.6.12-10-686 + Regression potential: The bug could not be fixed fully, there might be + more places which need update calls. Potentially the patch could mess up + the pam db even more. - Actual results: Drives will not auto mount and appear on the desktop.
