Details
Description:
There appears to be a bug in the source of shadow src/groupmod.c that renders groupmod unusable with pam enabled evidently due to null-pointer problem causing the error: "groupmod: Cannot determine your user name." Examples: [15:23 nirvana:/home/david] # groupmod -g1060 david groupmod: Cannot determine your user name. [15:25 nirvana:/home/david] # groupmod -nskyline david groupmod: Cannot determine your user name. This bug was already identified and patched in Gentoo a few days ago and it looks like Arch will need to do something similar. See: http://bugs.gentoo.org/300790 Additional info: * package version(s) kernel 2.6.32.9-1 pam 1.1.1-1 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: See "Examples:" above |
