[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#66963: passwd: useradd -m do not copy /etc/skel/* subdirectories

[Nicolas François]

tags 66963 unreproducible
thanks

Hello,

I'm contacting both of you, Ottavio and Pawel, because I'm not able to
reproduce this bug.
I've tried with the current 4.0.3-31sarge1 version and with
20000902-12woody.
Given the difference between 20000902-12 (the version Pawel was using) and
20000902-12woody, I doubt it can be reproduced with 20000902-12.

The piece of code responsible to copy the content of /etc/skel is in
libmisc/copydir.c:copy_tree, and didn't changed for a long time.

What also worry me is that Ottavio wrote that it was working when he
used useradd, and Pawel bug title is "useradd -m do not copy /etc/skel/*
subdirectories".


Can you still reproduce this bug?
Do you still have an access to the box?
Do you remember of anything unusual (disk full, contents of /etc/skel
being symbolic links, ...)?



Thanks in advance for any update on this subject,
