https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=308415 Summary: yast users: can't create user with existing homedir *without* chown'ing the homedir Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: suse-beta@cboltz.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- It's impossible to create an user with existing homedir *without* chown'ing the homedir to the newly created user. How to reproduce: - start yast users - add an user, go to details tab - enter an existing directory in the "Home Directory" field The result is the following message: The home directory selected already exists. Use it and change its owner? [Yes] [No] Yes chown's the directory to the new user No just goes back to the details dialog -> it's impossible to use an existing home directory *without* chown'ing it to the new user (and: yes, this is really needed sometimes - at least a customer has such interesting wishes.) Please add another option that allows to create the user, but without chown'ing the home directory. -- 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.

BTW: I of course don't expect that YaST does chown httpdocs and httpdocs/typo3 without touching the other content (owned by wwwrun) - that would be overmuch ;-) However, a possibility not to touch the permissions at all would be really helpful because the current way to do it is a) call useradd manually (bad) or b) do it with YaST and fix the permissions afterwards (even worse) -- 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.

"Chown?") as it would be superfluous dor most users. There could be a popup with three buttons (Yes/No/Use but do not chown) but I'm not sure if that additional button would not be too confusing for most users... -- 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.
