[ BUG] opensysuser does not create group with m 13 August 2021, 23:14:36 Hi all,With opensysusers 0.6 if I try to add a user to a nonexistent group using the 'm' type i got an errorbecause the opensysusers does not create the group by itself, so adding a user to a nonexistentgroup obviously fails.However the manpage for 'm' states that"If the user or group do not exist yet, they will be implicitly created. "This bug has been reported at Debian, seehttps://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=986015Thanks,Lorenzo Sidenote: it seems that the registrations to your gitea site are disabled: what is the expected way to report abug and contribute to a project?
[ BUG ] opensysusers: dangerous use of eval on GECOS field Reply #1 – 13 August 2021, 23:35:11 Hi all,Opensysusers 0.6 uses eval on every field of files in sysusers.d: this can have unintended consequences as some field, like GECOS, can contain shell meta-charactersthat are not supposed to be executed.An example where running opensysusers results in removal of rootfiles has been reported in Debian, seehttps://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=992058Thanks,Lorenzo

Re: [ BUG] opensysuser does not create group with m Reply #3 – 14 August 2021, 05:57:57 Artix does not use opensysusers and it has not been maintained for a long time. You can compile complete standalone binaries (no other systemd dependency) for that utility from the systemd source tree which is what is currently used. 1 Likes
