https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=783392 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=783392#c0 Summary: gnome-shell crashes when username includes '\' Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Samba AssignedTo: samba-maintainers@SuSE.de ReportedBy: jmason@suse.com QAContact: samba-maintainers@SuSE.de CC: tyrel.haveman@attachmate.com Found By: Community User Blocker: --- When using Active Directory authentication (samba winbind), users are created as 'DOMAIN\username' by default. gnome-shell 3.4 crashes to the 'Oops' screen when logging in with these accounts. I would have filed as a gnome bug, but neither YaST nor useradd will allow creating a local account that contains a backslash; its a violation of username policy. In light of that, it makes more sense to move away winbind to using an alternate format or separator, that to try to diagnose the issue in gnome-shell. ----- http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html#winb...

They do need to fix that no matter what our issues are on the winbind side. Thanks for opening that bug. The separator is set like this to be the same as windows, since we are trying to interoperate with windows. It was a long-running debate upstream. Following the very strict posix spec would not be possible as there are only 3 punctuation characters, which are often enough used in usernames. + was used at one point (also invalid by this spec), and this created other problems. I realize this creates other problems, including the need to escape the \ in many situations. But in the end, we've decided the windows format provides the best user-familiar answer. -- 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.
