[Bug 315002] Re: Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted
Upstream said it is the intended behavior: users for which password has expired shouldn't be allowed to authenticate until they have logged out and in back, so that they change their password. ** Changed in: policykit (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315002 Title: Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 315002] Re: Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted
Hmm... Charlie, I did not notice your step: 3. enter sudo passwd expiry USER1 Is there a specific reason why you didn't use the standard 'passwd' command? Could you post the log when using it? Don't even use 'sudo passwd', as it doesn't work the same way. Does it work then? Anyway, the gnome-system-tools don't use passwd -e since they only support usermod... ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Confirmed -- Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 315002] Re: Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted
Attempting to do anything in Ubuntu/Xubuntu to a password with out using sudo results in permission denied. Since the root account is locked, we can not make a change without sudo. However, I did type that line wrong. Here is the actual lines from terminal: jhtad...@justhaveto:~$ passwd -e jhtadmin passwd: Permission denied. jhtad...@justhaveto:~$ sudo passwd -e jhtadmin [sudo] password for jhtadmin: passwd: password expiry information changed. jhtad...@justhaveto:~$ As you see, it denies permission without sudo. The only log I can find with anything in it about the password change is auth.log. I am attaching today's copy, showing the transactions from today. Not even my .xsession_errors shows anything. Am I missing a log entry? ** Attachment added: /var/log/auth.log dated 2009-12-05 http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36473448/auth.log -- Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 315002] Re: Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted
That doesn't work because you're passing the '-e' option, which means: mark the password for expiration to force the user changing it on next login. That operation requires admin rights. BUT please simply use 'passwd', without anything else. (This is the best way of changing passwords in the general case, because it asks you to enter your old password, meaning that gnome-keyring and eCryptfs will be able to update the passphrase they use to encrypt our data at the same time.) -- Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 315002] Re: Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted
And, it works! Changing the password in terminal allows immediate use of the new password. jhtad...@justhaveto:~$ passwd Changing password for jhtadmin. (current) UNIX password: Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully jhtad...@justhaveto:~$ I have never used it before for this, but it is a good work-around for this bug. It does not require the user to log out and log in to use the new password. It is usable for authentication immediately. -- Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 315002] Re: Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted
That's not a workaround, that's the normal procedure. Why would you use 'passwd -e' in the first place, if you want ot change your own password? The only bug I can see here is that PolicyKit should allow users to authenticate even if their password is marked for expiration until they log change it. Though, maybe there's a rationale for not doing so... ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is restarted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
