Hello Ponnuvel, thanks for your regression analysis in comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/1957024/comments/22
I do, however, agree with vorlon in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/1957024/comments/21 and think there is more risk in this change for Focal users than there is a benefit. This can be addressed with a local configuration change, should the local admin want to. And I can definitely see cases where already deployed systems, using LDAP for example to store their user information, are a) using pam_mkhomedir; and b) would be surprised to see new users getting a different set of permissions for their home directory, without having made any other change. And from experience, such LDAP systems are complex to deploy and troubleshoot, and I can also see someone spending quite some time troubleshooting a "weird" problem that just started happening out of the blue. I appreciate the effort in this SRU, and I see that it was accepted for jammy, a more recent LTS. But for focal, I think this is a change in behavior we don't want in our oldest LTS at this time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1957024 Title: pam-mkhomedir does not honor private home directories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/1957024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
