Bug#405880: kdelibs4c2a: KDE User Mgmt tool breaks login permissions
Package: kdelibs4c2a
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
I create a new user using the "User Management" Control Center application (kcmshell), in su/Administrator mode. After this, I am unable to log into X, numerous services will not start, and I get "I have no name" with console logins.
The problem turns out to be that the permissions on /etc/passwd and /etc/group are changed by this tool to 600 instead of 644. Manually resetting the permissions fixes everything.
