[Desktop-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher

2020-09-28 Thread Christian Ehrhardt 
Since so many components are involved a fix/change might have been missed.
And since I recently didn't hear anything about this otherwise rather hot bug I 
was giving focal a try.

It turns out that this was indeed improved. Only the user of pkg:ifmail user 
fdt name "Fidonet" is still visible. All other formerly affected packages are 
good in Focal.
I can't (without digging through history a lot) say what fixed that but I'll 
update the bug tasks accordingly. Setting Focal fixed and marking Bionic/Xenial 
as still affected releases.
The backport tasks for those packages are incomplete thou as it is unclear 
which change in which package fixed it for Focal.

Note: This is only speaking for the "default config" of Ubuntu Desktop
as in 20.04 we know that certain environments will behave differently
(e.g. KDE never was affected).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher

2019-02-24 Thread Christian Ehrhardt 
Piorities are a bit odd, eventually all packages affected (low prio as
they can't do much about it) actually depend on lightdm to resolve it
(prio medium) which depends on accountsservive to implement some shell-
filter feature (prio high).

TL;DR as there was a lot of discussion up to now:
- users need a way to be hidden other than "uid is low"
- [1] outlines the place/feature we'd need to get back what we had in the past
- [2] outlines that this is a regression and should be handled in 
lightdm/accountsservice and not all indirectly affected packages


Note: the updated upstream bug is [3], but since this is still a semi-static 
list instead of detecting hidden shells as it did in the past it is not perfect 
for what would be needed.
Furthermore nothing happened on this bug for quite some time.
And finally due to being a semi-static list it is almost worse than the 
workaround of
  echo -e "[User]\nSystemAccount=true" > 
/var/lib/AccountsService/users/libvirt-qemu
Which could at least be a per-package owned drop-in config.


Once more I'd ask the Desktop Team to evaluate how this could be solved.
At least Towards 20.04 we should get rid of this annoyance for users.
Please let me know if:
- there is any chance that we get a hidden-shell filtering into accountsservice 
that will fix all affected packages at once?
OR
- if this will not happen and affected packages are supposed to each use the 
drop-in config. Which means a denial of the argument that was made in [2]

While I'd appreciate getting the right solution (accountsservice
filters) we were stalled for too long to use the workaround solution by
waiting for it to resolve. So I hope kicking this (once more) helps to
at least get to some solution for the users.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher

2018-01-21 Thread ChristianEhrhardt
I was made aware in bug #1667113 that this seems to be the root bug to dup this 
onto.
I know this comes down to accountsservice, as others not using it like sddm are 
just fine.

If we stick to depend on accountsservice, then it comes down to the following
$ dbus-send --print-reply=literal --system --dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts 
/org/freedesktop/Accounts org.freedesktop.Accounts.ListCachedUsers

Which should get some sort of the old hiddenShells feature back to
exclude those users.

Could someone of the desktop Team give this a look from the 18.04/gnome-
shell POV - will this go away?

Set the user to be a SystemUser in /var/lib/AccountsService/users works.
I would be more interested in a whitelist feature, so newly created unworthy 
users don't have to be blacklisted.

Why is there not a simple requirement like: only members of the lightdm
group are allowed to use lightdm??

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher

2015-02-18 Thread Kieran Grant
The workaround I am using to this bug is simple:
Copy /var/lib/AccountsService/users/root to /var/lib/AccountsService/users/user
It's is probably a bad thing to do...

What actually happens if one uses SystemAccount=true in that file, as
far as I understand (correct me if I am wrong) that won't grant any
special powers to that user, still relies on group membership and
PolicyKit rules.

Essentially as a temporary workaround the following lines hide the user:
[User]
SystemAccount=true

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher

2014-09-16 Thread Micheal Waltz
This bug also causes all users home directories to mount if they're
setup in autofs. This is especially detrimental if your autofs maps
contain thousands of users. Lightdm and autofs will slowly grind through
mounting home directories looking for:

~/.dmrc
~/.face
~/.face.icon

These mounts stay around in /etc/mtab, which causes reboots/shutdowns to
take extremely long while the system then umounts all the directories.

This not only affects the local system, but if hundreds of systems in an
environment are doing this it causes unnecessary load on backend
services.

2014-01-26 Thread Gunnar Hjalmarsson
Creating a user with UID < 1000 works for me as a workaround, since I'm
using lightdm-gtk-greeter, which has an "Other" option that allows you
to type the username of the account you want to log in to. unity-greeter
does not have this option, so a modification to unity-greeter seems to
be needed to fix this bug.

The hardcoded default_excludes is really annoying. It's about time we
had support for a configuration file. The attached patch set includes
this support.

It adds support for [UserList]/Excludes which is shipped with the list
of users currently hardcoded in default_excludes.

It also adds support for [UserList]/MinUID with -- as far as I can tell
-- a common default of 1000. However, this is now easy for distributions
to modify.

Hey, I'd prefer if you added metadata to each users config file instead
of introduciting a new file.

Also, one thing to think about is accountsservice is used in various
places to get a list of users

1) the login screen
2) the control center panel

maybe it would make sense to show the user in the panel even when not in
the login screen? So we may want two keys.

Ray, I agree that more keys can be added, but all this does is pull a
really arbitrary hard-coded list out of the binary into a config file.
(And re-add Minimum UID because it made sense but no-one could agree on
a value).

As for the per-user config file, I gotta disagree with you. Those are in
/var/lib/... which doesn't really suggest they are intended to be done
by hand. Also, the minimum UID is global behavior. I could see adding an
option like Visibility to the per-user config which can be always on,
no-cache, or off,  But why block which IMO is more of a bug-fix
because it also makes you want a new feature.

Do you think that a single file in /usr that's overridable in /etc is
enough? I could see a case for a config.d, lexographically sorted set of
config files so that a package could drop in an exclude for a specific
username that it installs.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher

2012-10-29 Thread e80f00
Created patch against latest ubuntu source package.

It creates the option to write a key-value-pair to a configuration file named 
/etc/accountsservice.conf,
in which you can specify with the key "hidden-users" a space separated list of 
the hidden users.

Example content of /etc/accountsservice.conf:

#
# accountsservice config file
#
# [Users] 
# hidden-users = space separated list of users to exclude
#
[Users]
hidden-users=not_me imhidden

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher

2012-10-16 Thread Heathpetersen
What about creating a system group like "noguilogin" that
accountsservice uses to determine whether a gui login is allowed and
passes that as a flag via dbus with other requested user information.
Then all other services that use accountsservice can refer to this when
validating whether an X session should be allowed.  Also, services that
don't utilize accountsservice can just look for membership in the group.

Another option may be as simple as changing lightdm so there's a way to
disable using accountsservice.  Then you could edit users.conf as you
normally would.  Not pretty, but it gets the job done.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher

2012-08-11 Thread Edmund Laugasson
There is also problem with shells.

In the file /etc/passwd I set:
user:x:1001:1001:,,,:/home/user:/bin/false

In file /etc/shells I added
/bin/false

Also checked:
# ls -l /bin/false 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22896 apr1 06:09 /bin/false

But still can "user" log in as regular user through GUI. I would like to
create user for FTP server (vsftpd), that works only with FTP and not as
regular user.

I noticed, that at the file /etc/lightdm/users.conf there is written:
hidden-shells=/bin/false /usr/sbin/nologin

What does this mean? If /bin/false is hidden, then it is not active and
user can still log in? I even tried to remove that /bin/false but it
didn't help - still can user log in even its shell is /bin/false

2012-08-07 Thread Eoin
10+ months later and this is still an issue.  All our users log in via
LDAP.  I'd really like to have this fixed so we don't have a lab of
machines that display what the local admin username is.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher

2012-05-17 Thread urusha
I think global exclusion option is needed. Imagine a big domain
environment where there are about 20 admins. And all these admins are
policykit admins. Once you try to use policykit somehow, all these admin
accounts will appear in the panel, but I don't really need them there.
The same for login screen - if you are admin, then I think you know how
to type your account name. The same time a typical user shouldn't see
this trash of unknown strange account names.

Or another way is to implement some cache setting (suggested my Matthew
Monaco). If cache is set to 1, then only the last logged user is shown.

The best of course is to implement both of these features.
Thanks.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher

2012-01-22 Thread Neil Broadley
Another use case is corporate. Desktop roaming in an AD environment would 
result in your PC being populated in the greeter by anyone who happened to use 
your PC while you were on holiday. Or if support staff login to check a support 
call, or if we get the user to login at another PC to troubleshoot an issue.
So the use case is still aesthetics, but in my environment at least, you'd have 
greeters with 10+ entries on each PC and a lot of angry and confused staff 
wondering why they see all this spurious stuff on their login screen.

Finally, it's obviously detrimental to security that cleaners can glance
at login screens to gather a list of valid usernames.  There might be
other ways to do this as a cleaner, but Ubuntu's greeter makes this
stupidly easy.

As a wishlist item, therefore, I'd like the greeter to support the
concept of "only ever show this user".  Not sure what to log this
against though?

I've been asking around to find out why you'd not want to log into certain 
accounts.  The cases I've head so far are:
- System users showing up (e.g. mysql.  This seems like an OS bug)
- Running a server and having remote logins.  There may be accounts that you 
want to log into to control the server (i.e. over SSH) but not graphically.

The last case makes it sound like there potentially should be a per-seat
filter.

My use case is a separate account used to develop or to build packages.
This provides environmental isolation from the everyday user account and
some security - the separate account might have additional system
privileges or private keys. For example:

 Mock - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock#Build_User
 kde development - using (now outdated, i think) advice such as at 
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4_%28bn_IN%29#Create_a_user_account_for_KDE4_development
 A test account for a very old version of amarok with X forwarding

Accounts that can only be accessed by ssh or that don't make sense to
log in directly (and are just noise for other users on the machine) but
that are otherwise still normal user accounts with home directories and
that don't really belong in the system account pid range.

Arguably some of this is better handled by virtual machines nowadays;
but the separate build user case for mock is, I believe, still strong.
And the ssh keys in a separate account case is reasonable, isn't it?

To cut through some of the guff, this use case boils down to
- Accounts intended for local ssh logins. They may have privileges or contain

and perhaps
- Testing accounts that users at the greeter don't need to be bothered with 
(whether on a single-owner or a shared machine). Not for security, just 
aesthetics.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher

2011-10-23 Thread Fabian Köster
@Rhialto:

I dont see why this is a security risk to show all users. On UNIX-like
systems unprivileged users usually can read /etc/passwd and therefore
all user-names on this machine (unless they are managed by LDAP or
similar).

I would say it is a security problem to have any users show up at all.
There doesn't even seem to be an option to *always* hide *all* users.
