[Bug 247910] Re: [users-admin] show UID below 1000
I've investigated a little more how we are getting the minimum UID for normal users, and it seems that /etc/login.defs settings are used if present, rather than those from /etc/adduser.conf. Could you try editing that file too? Though, I don't know why those two files are present, since some of their settings can conflict. -- [users-admin] show UID below 1000 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247910 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 247910] Re: [users-admin] show UID below 1000
brilliant! changing /etc/login.defs works fine. as far as i'm concerned this wishlist item is no longer needed. if only the new gdm greeter would read this setting (or some other setting) as well (and not hide my user from the login screen) everything would be great... thanks for your help. -- [users-admin] show UID below 1000 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247910 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

OK, so moving the task to GDM, where the only problem left is. Updating description accordingly. ** Package changed: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) = gdm (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - [users-admin] show UID below 1000 + Show users with UID 1000 according to /etc/login.defs definition of minimum UID ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools + It would be nice with an option to show users with UIDs below 1000 in + the face greeter. Since Max OS X starts their users at 501 I have a few + Ubuntu machines set up with with UIDs starting at 501 (since that is + needed for the NFS mounts to work nicely). - it would be nice with an option to show users with UIDs below 1000. I - know there is an option to show all users, but that is not ideal since - it includes system accounts. Since mac os x starts their users at 501 I - have a few ubuntu machines set up with with UIDs starting at 501 (since - that is needed for the NFS mounts to work nicely). I'd still want the - ubuntu users to be able to change their password, displayed name etc. - Hence I'd like a gconf setting (or something smarter) were I define what - UIDs should be displayed. Perhaps there is a better way to define user - accounts vs system accounts? If there is a home dir then it is a user - account? Thanks! + /etc/login.defs has a UID_MIN setting that is set to 1000 by default, + and which is used by useradd and users-admin (at least) to define normal + users (as opposed to system users). GDM should take this parameter into + account when hiding system users. This way one could easily set this + limit to be 500, and everything would integrate nicely. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- Show users with UID 1000 according to /etc/login.defs definition of minimum UID https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 247910] Re: [users-admin] show UID below 1000
Are you aware of /etc/adduser.conf options FIRST_UID, and friends? See that file for the full description of their meaning. I think setting FIRST_UID=500 instead of 1000 could solve your request properly. ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- [users-admin] show UID below 1000 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247910 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 247910] Re: [users-admin] show UID below 1000
Milan: Thank you for the suggestion, I was not aware of that file. However, after changing FIRST_UID, FIRST_GID to 500 and changing LAST_SYSTEM_UID, LAST_SYSTEM_GID to 499 i stil do not see my users in the users and groups application. I only see root, and I need to change show_all_user to yes in order to see my users. Unless I'm doing something wrong I guess this means that my wishlist request would be for gnome-system-tools to use this setting, since it does not seem like it currently uses it?
