hello<br>
I use about a hundred fedora19 stations in computer labs at our
school<br>
users accounts comes from an ldap directory and the homedir is
automounted via NFS.<br>
However, recently I noticed that on some stations, local user
account had been created !<br>
looking at the log file, <span style="font-weight: normal;color:
#69dd45;"></span>I discovered in /var/log/secure something like
this: <br>
<br>
<i>accounts-daemon: request by system-bus-name ::1.733
[/usr/libexec/gnome-initial-setup pid:15259 uid:991]: create user
'foobar'</i><i><br>
</i><i>useradd[29724]: new group: name=foobar, GID=1001</i><i><br>
</i><i>secure-20131117:Nov 15 17:16:43 b3-4 useradd[29724]: new
user: name=susana, UID=1001, GID=1001, home=/home/susana,
shell=/bin/bash</i><i><br>
</i><i>secure-20131117:Nov 15 17:16:43 b3-4 useradd[29724]: add
'susana' to group 'wheel'</i><i><br>
</i><i>secure-20131117:Nov 15 17:16:43 b3-4 useradd[29724]: add
'susana' to shadow group 'wheel'</i><br>
<br>
Scary ! how comes gnome-initial-setup could create users, and
morever add them to the wheel group !<br>
could it be a bug in <i>gnome-initial-setup , </i>a feature side
effect ? or our students found a "back door" ?<br>
any suggestion greatly appreciated .<br>
<br>
Thanks .<br>
