Should start your system in safe mode (root) and nano edit /etc/group

Follows a segment of mine:

messagebus:x:117:
polkituser:x:118:
avahi:x:119:
haldaemon:x:120:
admin:x:121:lmario,lucio
lmario:x:1000:
sambashare:x:122:lmario,lucio
vboxusers:x:123:lucio,lmario
lucio:x:1002:lucio

below yours:

polkituser:x:118:
avahi:x:119:
haldaemon:x:120:
admin:x:1006:
jamie:x:1000:
sambashare:x:122:jamie
heidi:x:1001:


Notice there is a gap between 120 and 122 - I guess 121 used to be your 
admin. Just a guess.

If I were you, after backing up the file, I would remove all references 
to admin and include

admin:x:121:

and reboot and check if works.

Or better, wait for the experts opinions

Good luck,

Lucio

I have also reproduced the issue with hardy's gnome-system-tools,
2.22.0-0ubuntu9, and have confirmed that the version in hardy-proposed,
2.22.0-0ubuntu10, does fix the issue as well. User and group
administration continued to function.

Brian: I agree, the message reported is awkward; would it be possible to
fix that in the Karmic cycle, so that an admin can adjust the default
group setting in the advanced tab?

Marking verification-done.

2009-04-27 Thread Steve Beattie
I have reproduced the issue with gnome-system-tools in jaunty,
2.22.2-0ubuntu3, and have verified that the version in jaunty-proposed,
2.22.2-0ubuntu4, does not allow the creation of a user id that matches
an id that exists solely in the group database (pulse-access is another
example of this). Other user and group  management continues to work.

There is still an issue that is likely difficult to solve, due it being
the result of packaging policy; admins are not prevented from creating a
user that later is created by a package (e,g, create a nut user/group,
then install the nut package).

I tested this using Intrepid and confirm that gnome-system-tools version
2.22.1-0ubuntu1.1 does infact prevent the creation the of a user named
admin and various others.  Its a bit odd that the error message says the
user already exists, but its the functionality that is the key.

This patch for Jaunty checks if the group_exists() and returns an error
saying the 'user' exists if it does. It blocks the creation of users
like 'admin', 'adm', 'syslog', 'pulse', etc.

New test packages are building in my PPA.

2009-04-15 Thread Martin Pitt
Also marking for hardy. This sounds like a good SRU. However, I'm not
happy with the patch yet:

 - It introduces new strings, which needs to be avoided for i18n reasons.
 - Hardcoding "admin" sounds wrong to me. Shouldn't it rather just check 
whether the user/group already exists? The current code does

} else if (!user && login_exists (login)) {

  So what about changing login_exists() to also check for the group with
the same name? That would solve the issue more generically and avoid
string changes.

[Bug 236305] Re: Creating user with username 'admin' hoses admin group, sudo config

2009-04-15 Thread Björn Rabethge
Hi Jonathan,

thanks for the workaround.

However, I would like to suggest that the groups are checked for
existance instead of an hardcoded check for "admin" since it would be an
similiar problem if someone would add a user named "scanner", "pulse",
"gdm" "syslog" or any other name that is equal to an existing usergroup.
