[Bug 774580] Re: passwd -e does not work for LDAP users

2012-02-09 Thread Nicolas François
It is the expected behavior.

passwd uses PAM to change password, but there are no API to expire a password.
(I have no idea whether there would be such feature in a LDAP user database; if 
this exist, then some LDAP tools are needed)

What could be done is to document in the manpages the options which
require a /etc/shadow storage.

I'm not really worried by the consistency of single files (each one are
updated atomically).

The problem is the inconsistency between files (e.g. /etc/passwd and 
/etc/shadow).
I'm not sure what would be the worst case if for example /etc/passwd is updated 
but /etc/shadow is not.

Just a note for any future bug reporter:

It is now clear that it happens that the passwd or shadow (or group, or 
gshadow) files can be locked.
The me also messages are not very useful (and will not make the resolution of 
this bug, if it is really a bug, any faster).

Please provide instead any information that could indicate why the files were 
locked:
 * the list of locked files:
ls /etc/passwd.lock /etc/shadow.lock /etc/group.lock /etc/gshadow.lock

 * check the /var/log/auth.log for any message that could indicate the
failure of any other tool (prior to the failure which reported the
locked file)

 * any anormal operation on the machine (reset, shutdown while the
computer is still running)

 * etc.

shadow uses lckpwdf / ulckpwdf to cooperatively lock the files.

Since the locking issue can be caused by other issues than lack of

You have a problem with your PAM installation (see all the ... is
missing in your bug report).

The Module is unknown message indicates that a PAM module was not
found, which is consistent.

dpkg thinks that libpam-modules is installed on your machine, but a lot
of files are missing, this might indicate a bigger issue.

Reinstalling libpam-modules might solve your problem.

[Bug 432964] Re: System crash in guest session locks /etc/passwd forever

2009-11-16 Thread Nicolas François
The goal of the lock files is to protect users from doing something
wrong when system files might be in an inconsistent state.

Removing the lock files at boot time would definitely avoid the issue
pointed in this bug report, but would mean there is probably something
wrong with the system files, it's probably safer not to warn anybody.
Let's start hiding the evidence that there might be something wrong.

Therefore,I would not recommend to touch these lock files, even after
checking the files with pwck or grpck. Only human being can do so
because only human being might remember what leaded to such possible
inconsistency.

The possible solutions might be:
 * reduce the time between lock file creation and lock file removal in the 
shadow utils (I don't think this is possible)
 * avoid changing the passwd file too often (would it be possible to have 
static home directory for guest?)
 * indicate the failures and cause for failure. (note that a syslog checker 
would probably already notify the administrators in this case).

[Bug 432964] Re: System crash in guest session locks /etc/passwd forever

2009-11-15 Thread Nicolas François
 adduser in Debian doesn't seem to be very responsive to our bug
reports, so we may need to fix it ourselves...

Whether this will be fixed by yourselves or by Debian, the problem need
to be understood first.

Is there a way to reproduce the issue? Does anybody have an idea if this
lock file was really left by useradd?

The lock files are actually created by useradd, but they should also be
removed by useradd.

Note that after a system crash anything could happen. useradd might have
been killed between the creation of the lock file and its removal. In
that case, the lock file is a feature which indicate to the user that
the system files should be checked.

The only bug I can see in this bug report is that the actual message
cannot lock /etc/passwd is not displayed to the end user and the
usermod failure seems to be ignored silently.

Can you make a proposal on how to fix this (i.e. do you speak Finnish?)
I have no idea if just the URL should be removed, or the whole paragraph, or

shadow uses a PO based translation. It could be used to help the
translation of the Finnish manpages and ease its maintenance (i.e. help
keeping the translation up to date)

The current manpages were not translated using this process, and are
probably out of date currently.

[Bug 49604] Re: chfn only understands /etc/passwd

2009-02-22 Thread Nicolas François
There is currently no effort to get a better support for LDAP in shadow.
(patch welcome, though)

LDAP is currently supported by shadow only when the libc (NSS) or PAM
provides support for LDAP.

IIRC libc developpers were already not very happy having to support LDAP (or 
maybe even shadow files).
And the only write operation PAM supports is for writting passwords (I don't 
think it will ever change).

IMHO it would be better to have wrappers like adduser to support
different type of database.

If somebody wants to work on LDAP support, pwdutils might give some
ideas for starting. (IIRC it used to be the same code base or shared
some APIs, and it supports LDAP)

[Bug 73024] Re: unknown item 'FAIL_DELAY'

2008-11-12 Thread Nicolas François
FAIL_DELAY should no more be part of the current /etc/login.defs file
distributed by the login package.

When you upgraded, you should have receive a message for this file to
ask you if you want to kkeep your configuration file, use the one
distributed by the package, or see a diff.

The proper way of fixing this issue would have been to use the file
distributed by the package at that time, or look at the diff in order to
make the proper changes.

[Bug 274534] Re: absence of crypt(3) conflicts with useradd(8) man page

2008-09-25 Thread Nicolas François
crypt(3) is provided by manpages-dev.

I don't think this note in useradd(8) is sufficient to add a dependency
on manpages-dev.

[Bug 272232] Re: passwd - passwords do not match but updated successfully

I cannot reproduce it here (on Debian).

Can you provide your /etc/pam.d/passwd ?
(and files included from there)

Thanks.

And what about the content of /etc/pam.d/common-password ?

Did you make any change to PAM configuration?

[Bug 272232] Re: passwd - passwords do not match but updated successfully

2008-09-19 Thread Nicolas François
This looks like a PAM configuration bug.

When pam_unix fails, the error is (willingly) ignored.

One temporary solution to fix this could be to change the line:
password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure sha512
to
password required pam_unix.so obscure sha512

** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: shadow = pam

[Bug 259842] Re: Disabling 3D Accel, (and not holding @ 1280x800) with nvidia-glx-177

2008-09-12 Thread Nicolas François
This is clearly not a login issue (login is a command line tool used to
login on terminal).

I don't know if it's a gdm, nvidia-xconfig, or non-issue.

I looks similar to #216871.
I will let the gdm maintainers have a look at it.

[Bug 238755] Re: 'Account has expired' message when adding a new user

2008-07-20 Thread Nicolas François
I don't think there is a bug. This looks like a configuration issue.

When it is called, chfn authenticates the calling user (root), and then
check if the calling user's is valid.

Being root is sufficient to get authenticated (pam_rootok is loaded in
/etc/pam.d/chfn), but /etc/pam.d/comman-account will still check that
the account is valid, and in your case it is no more valid (because of
the passwd -l root)

You should unlock the root account (passwd --unlock root), then lock the
root's password (usermod --lock root)

[Bug 51551] Re: newusers uses crypt insted of md5

2008-05-19 Thread Nicolas François
The debian 4.1.0-1 version fixed this (MD5_CRYPT_ENAB can be set to
yes).

Note that the prefered solution would be to define ENCRYPT_METHOD to MD5.
(ENCRYPT_METHOD was introduced in 4.1.0 to allow new password encryption 
methods).

[Bug 80610] Re: pwent data can be overwritten by a PAM module in su source

2008-05-19 Thread Nicolas François
This should be fixed in shadow 4.1.0.

All getpw(ent/nam/uid) were audited and the replaced by call to xgetpw(nam/uid) 
when pam function might be used between the call and the usage.
These new functions use the libc's *_r functions or copy the structures in 
newly allocated memory.

It would be nice if you could check it, since I might have missed some
of them.

Upstream moved to a PO based process to translate the manpages, and will
