https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481297 Summary: Creation of Every User Offers the Ability to Receive System Mail Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alpha096@virginbroadband.com.au QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1 Firefox/3.0.6 At Installation time we are asked to create our first system user and offered via check box if this user is to receive system mail - Thats all fine. The trouble is that every user we create via Yast>User and Group Management> Add user...offers the same ability to receive system mail. I can understand why we want to off a non-root user to receive system mail but cannot understand why and the implications of offering the same to every single user we create - Do all users created where we select the check box receive a copy of all system mail or who goes get the system mail where multiple users are created and selected to receive system mail. Many new users now understand that they can collect their system mail by configuring the account in their mail clients as a Unix Move Mail and nominating the server as localhost and the directory of /var/mail/<user name> and this works fine - We need to explore any possible repercussions or errors that making more than one user receive system mail Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Yast>User and Group Management> Add user 2.Add a new user - tick the receive system mail checkbox 3.Add another new user - tick the receive system mail checkbox 4 Add another new user - tick the receive system mail checkbox Actual Results: Unknown if all if any user get all or none or some of the system mail 100% re-productive Expected Results: I would expect that we can only nominate one user only in place of root to receive system mail Your decision on how to fix this and specify future system mail policy and options - this part rests with yourself - I am sorry it would not appear correct for me to offer my thoughts with my limited knowledge of the impact of changing this option to be available to only one user. -- 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.
