Comment from upstream about the patch: "Thanks a lot for working on this issue, however, it should also apply to *any* logged in user, not just the one who's running the tools, and should guard against deleting the user, not just modifying it.
IMHO a proper fix would be getting UTMP info (kind of like what /usr/bin/who does) to know which users are logged in." -- [users-admin] Changing UID needs notice to reboot https://launchpad.net/bugs/78527 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
