Package: base-passwd Version: 3.5.30 Severity: important The recent change to base-passwd to make certain system accounts’ shell be /usr/sbin/nologin broke cron jobs which run under those uids.
So far, I noticed that the cron.daily/uucp fails. Some system uids require a real shell; they should not have been changed. (Were I not subscribed to the changes lists, and had I not noticed the posts this week about this, I would have had to waste quite a bit of time figuring it out. I’m sure others are.) -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.11-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages base-passwd depends on: ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libdebconfclient0 0.186 Versions of packages base-passwd recommends: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.52 base-passwd suggests no packages. -- debconf information: base-passwd/user-change-uid: true base-passwd/user-remove: true base-passwd/system/user/sys/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/irc/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/group-change-gid: true base-passwd/user-change-shell: true base-passwd/system/user/bin/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/user-change-home: true base-passwd/group-remove: true base-passwd/system/user/man/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/group-move: true base-passwd/system/user/proxy/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/user-change-gecos: true base-passwd/system/user/mail/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/daemon/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/user-change-gid: true base-passwd/system/user/news/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/nobody/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/user-move: true base-passwd/system/user/games/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/uucp/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/user-add: true base-passwd/system/user/list/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/gnats/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/backup/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/system/user/lp/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true base-passwd/group-add: true base-passwd/system/user/www-data/shell/_bin_sh/_usr_sbin_nologin: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
