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.
