Bug#584109: libpam-mklocaluser
Package: libpam-mklocaluser
Version: 0.3
Severity: important
User: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
UserTags: debian-edu
Today, the pam module check if the user logging in have a home
directory in /home/ before createing a local user. This can some
times lead to cron jobs doing for example 'su nobody' to create a
duplicate user for nobody with a home directory in /home/.
The pam module should be changed to make sure the user logging in is
not listed in /etc/passwd before creating a local user and a local
home directory.
Happy hacking,
