here is detailed step by step description. i think, we have a minefield
of bugs here!
Initial setting:
You are logged in to an admin account.
1. Gear menu -> System Settings -> User Accounts -> create a user account
'test1' (do not set any password).
2. Gear menu -> System Settings -> User Accounts -> click on test1 -> Password
-> Action -> Log in without a password -> Change
3. Log in to test1
4. Set new password through terminal by running 'passwd'
5. Log out
6. Log in to test1
actual behaviour:
1. No password is asked! and you get a pop up after logging in 'Enter Password
To Unlock Your Login Keyring'.
2. When you run any sudo command on terminal, system asks for test1 password
instead of admin password! after entering test1 password, message is displayed
'test1 is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported'
expected behaviour:
1. test1 password should be asked upon login. Pop up should not appear.
2. admin password should be asked instead of test1 password.
note:
if at all, there is an argument that setting passwords through terminal and
System Settings -> User Accounts (which creates a new user and allows to login)
are not related, see point 1 below.
1. when you lock screen, after logging into test1, system asks for test1
password (that you have set through terminal in the above steps) when you try
to log in again.
2. when switching between admin, test1 and test2 (created in same fashion as
test1) accounts in the system, many times check mark appears/does not appear
(random behaviour) next to the account names in the user list (near gear menu
on top right) irrespective of whether you have logged in or out!
3. after you have logged into admin, test1 and test2 accounts and when you log
out of any one account, at least 3 out of 5 times, system freezes on the main
login screen where all accounts are listed!
personally, i feel ubuntu should not go the windows way by allowing
accounts to be created without passwords. the very essence of linux
security is let down.
