Ok, that is an argument BUT the problem would be with the second call then: waerden:/srv/www/yast/lib # LANG=en.UTF-8 /sbin/yast2 users list waerden:/srv/www/yast/lib # echo $? 16 I am getting no user list anymore due this warning/error.

The return value is actually false for each 'list' command. It indicates internally, that no changes were done and nothing should be written. (I think). I think this is also the case for several other modules, that you can't rely on the final return value (so far, nobody needed it). 2. For me, adding 2 users with same UID works well and I can see them both in the UI and in the 'yast2 users list' command. Isn't your problem in the fact that the users you are adding are a system ones and yast by default shows (lists) the local ones (UID above 1000)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

conerning 2 Yes, you are right. With UID above 1000 it works correctly. Perhaps the question would be, why it is allowed to generate local users with UID less than 1000. I assume the UI will warn the user whereas the commandline will not do it. But it is OK for me. You see that I am not really an user expert :-) I will add a check in the webservice in order to prevent this error.

You didn't specify that the user is local, so it added a system one. This is of course possible. When you open UI, you can switch the filters to see either system/local/ldap/nis users or combination of them (custom filter)

concerning 1 After I have added a user with an UID greater than 1000 the list command has worked correctly. The meaning of the return value is new for me, but very interesting.

It actually may be a bug, I only wanted to say that if we should change it, probably more yast modules are affected. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

- Adding a user without a kind (local, system,....) parameter adds a system user

Not true. The determination whether is user local or system was done according to UID you've entered (113 < SYSTEM_UID_MAX from /etc/login.defs). If you'd not provide UID, the call without specifying type would add a local one, generating UID higher than the currently existing local UIDs.

- List all user without a kind parameter lists local users.

AFAIK it lists the users from 'custom' set, which is initially set to local userfs, but could be redefined (I'm not sure if from command line, but definitely from the UI) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
