Hi all,
With opensysusers 0.6 if I try to add a user to a nonexistent group using the 'm' type i got an error
because the opensysusers does not create the group by itself, so adding a user to a nonexistent
group 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, see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=986015
Thanks,
Lorenzo
Sidenote: it seems that the registrations to your gitea site are disabled: what is the expected way to report a
bug and contribute to a project?
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-characters
that are not supposed to be executed.
An example where running opensysusers results in removal of root
files has been reported in Debian, see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=992058
Thanks,
Lorenzo
Please don't create multiple topics for same report.
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.
Hi,
sorry, it was not my intention to spam the forum
ah, so if I want to keep opensysusers in Debian I need to fix those issues by myself..
ok, thanks for the info
Lorenzo
