[Robert Euhus <1290785@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Robert, if I found the correct sources, then I Ithink something went
very wrong with your patch for trusty:

I found sources for version 0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1 here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+queue?queue_state=1 , namely:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/179519600/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/179519599/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.debian.tar.xz
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/179519598/accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.gz

and the diff:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/179519604/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.diff.gz

As one can already guess from the diff, this is not only the patch
mentioned above, but quite a lot of aclocal/m4 files were simply removed
from the sources.

This leads to build errors as you can see from the attached log excerpt
from a pbuilder run.

The old version accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7 compiles without any
problems, but the new one just doesn't. compile at all.

Please correct this.

Title:
  Users with UID > 60000 are invisible in login and Settings->User
  unless /etc/login.defs updated

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “accountsservice” source package in Trusty:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Users of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with UID > 60000 will not show in the greeter or system settings without editing UID_MAX in /etc/login.defs. This was not required in 12.04 LTS. In 12.04 LTS users were only hidden if they had UID < UID_MIN. In 13.10 this was changed to UID < UID_MIN or UID > UID_MAX.

  [Test Case]
  1. Create a user with a UID > UID_MAX:
  $ adduser --uid 60001 big-uid
  2. Restart system
  Expected result:
  "big-uid" is shown in the greeter. Once logged in "big-uid" is shown in system settings.
  Observed result:
  "big-uid" is not shown in the greeter (14.04 LTS, 14.10)
  "big-uid" is not shown in system settings (13.10, 14.04LTS, 14.10)

  [Regression Potential]
  This could cause users that were previously hidden to be shown. This seems unlikely to be a problem as all system created user accounts are less than UID_MIN and there doesn't seem be a convention to use accounts > UID_MAX for this case.
