https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=425745 Summary: encrypted user home can be created when already exist Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Alpha 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: pnemec@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I am installing 11.1 alphas and I have separate home. I set couple of users, some with encrypted homes. I have home partition on separate directory. When installing new Alpha (not upgrading) I loose setup for my users. For normal user it is not problem. I set same name and YaST automaticly use old home. AFAIK it also set right UID. In case of user with encrypted home YaST start complaining about home directory already exist and then fail with creating /home/user_name.img with pop up dialog "use --force, file already exist" User is somehow created, but when you try loggin in you will have '~' set to '/' I looked into documentation for 11.0 (which works exactly same ... buggy) and I did not find any information how import user with encrypted home) Chapter 5. Managing Users with YaST / 5.2. Special Options) Steps to reproduce 1. Create separate partitions for / and for /home 2. Create user1 with encrypted home 2. Create user2 without encrypted home 3. Reinstall system with wiping /, but not the /home 4. Create user2 and you will have your old home accessible with your data 5. Create user1 and you will have no access to your old data. -- 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.
