RHBA-2015:1433 - system-config-users bug fix update
Synopsis
system-config-users bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated system-config-users package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The system-config-users package provides a graphical utility for administrating users and groups.
This update fixes the following bug:
- When the "INACTIVE" parameter was set in the /etc/default/useradd file, using the system-config-users utility to create or edit a user caused the user to be automatically expired. With this update, setting "INACTIVE" in /etc/default/useradd no longer gives users created or edited in system-config-users an incorrect expiration date, and thus no longer causes them to become unusable. (BZ#981910)
Users of system-config-users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
