[Bug 1304505] Re: Guest session not working

 

This bug was fixed in the package shadow - 1:4.2-3.1ubuntu1

---------------
shadow (1:4.2-3.1ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable.
    - Includes pam_loginuid in login PAM config.  LP: #1067779.
    - Fixes typo in usermod -h output.  LP: #1348873.
  * Remaining changes:
    - debian/passwd.upstart: Add an upstart job to clear locks on
      [shadow-]passwd/group.
    - debian/login.defs:
      + Update documentation of USERGROUPS_ENAB: with pam_umask, the UPG
        handling does not only apply to "former (pre-PAM) uses".
      + Update documentation of UMASK: Explain that USERGROUPS_ENAB
        will modify this default for UPGs.
    - debian/{source_shadow.py,rules}: Add apport hook
    - Pass noupdate to pam_motd call for /run/motd.dynamic, to avoid running
      /etc/update-motd.d/* scripts twice.
    - debian/patches/1010_extrausers.patch: Add support to passwd for
      libnss-extrausers
    - debian/patches/1011_extrausers_toggle.patch: extrausers support for
      useradd and groupadd
    - debian/patches/userns/subuids-nonlocal-users: Don't limit
      subuid/subgid support to local users.
  * Dropped changes, included in Debian:
    - Allow LXC devices (lxc/console, lxc/tty[1234]), used from precise on.
    - Add uidmap package based on upstream patches that introduce
      newuidmap/newgidmap as well as /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid. Additional
      updates on those to widen the default allocation to 65536 uids and gids
      and only assign ranges to non-system users.
    - debian/patches/1020_fix_user_busy_errors: Call sub_uid_close in all
      error cases.
  * Dropped changes, included upstream:
    - debian/patches/495_stdout-encrypted-password: chpasswd can report
      password hashes on stdout.
    - debian/patches/496_su_kill_process_group: Kill the child process group,
      rather than just the immediate child.
  * Fix pam_motd calls so that the second pam_motd is the noupdate one rather
    than the first, ensuring /run/motd.dynamic is always populated and shown
    on the first login after boot.  LP: #1368864.
  * Don't call 'pam_exec uname', a change adopted in Debian without
    coordination with the Debian PAM maintainer
  * Use dh_installinit now for installing the upstart job, as we no longer
    generate a dependency on upstart-job.
  * Include /etc/sub[ug]id in the list of files to clear locks for on boot.
    LP: #1304505
  * Add a systemd unit to go with the upstart job, so that lock clearing works
    on newer Ubuntu releases.

shadow (1:4.2-3.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Fix error handling in busy user detection. (Closes: #778287)

shadow (1:4.2-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Enforce hardened builds to workaround cdbs sometimes not building
    with hardening flags as in 1:4.2-2+b1
    Thanks to Dr. Markus Waldeck for pointing the issue and Simon Ruderich
    For providing a working patch.

shadow (1:4.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * The "Soumaintrain" release
  * The "Rigotte de Condrieu" release was 4.2-1
  * Upload to unstable
  * Last upload integrates the use of dh_autoreconf which has the same
    effect then Eric Dorland's patch in 1:4.1.5.1-1.1 NMU to drop the
    use of automake1.9. Closes: #724434

  [ Samuel Thibault ]
  * Enable the login package on hurd-any, but without /bin/login, still provided
    by the hurd package. Closes: #737805.
    This fix was accidentally forgotten in 1:4.2-1

  [ Josh Triplett ]
  * use the new pam_exec functionality from pam 1.1.8-1 to implement the
    dynamic motd, rather than using /run/motd.dynamic from initscripts.
    This will allow initscripts to drop /etc/init.d/motd.
    Closes: #741129

  [ Laurent Bigonville ]
  * Enable libaudit support. Closes: #745774

  [ Trần Ngọc Quân ]
  * Vietnamese translation update.

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * Add a lintian override for newuidmap and newgidmap setuid binaries
  * Add upstream signing key as debian/upstream-signing-key.asc
  * Check upstream signing key in debian/watch

shadow (1:4.2-1) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Nicolas FRANCOIS (Nekral) ]
  * New upstream release. Fixes:
    - Invalid free() in su fixed by using strdup(). Thanks to Serge
      Hallyn for the patch. Closes: #691459
    - Kill the child process group, rather than just the
      immediate child; this is needed now that su no
      longer starts a controlling terminal when not running an
      interactive shell. Thanks to Colin Watson for the patch.
      Closes: #713979
    - German manpages translation update. Closes: #679152
    - Improve login.defs (typographic errors and better format).
      Closes: #685415
    - Russian translation update. Closes: #718356
    - Do not assume random() is limited by RAND_MAX.  Closes: #677275
    - Support C libraries with unknown fields in struct passwd.
      Closes: #675824
    - su: child cleanup is performed before terminating PAM sessions. This
      avoids anoying "...terminated" messages when PAM module send signal to
      su during session close. Closes: #670132
    - vipw/vigr is checking arguments provided after options. Closes: #677812
    - Updated Japanese translation. Closes: #720004
    - vipw: Fix error reporting when editor fails. Closes: #688260
  * Moved to git: replace Vcs-Git in place of Vcs-Svn and adapt
    Vcs-Browser.
  * Add pam_loginuid to login PAM settings. Closes: #677441
  * passwd.install: add new subuid.5 and subgid.5 manpages
  * debian/rules, debian/control, debian/uidmap.install: create new uidmap
    package containing the new setuid-root binaries newuidmap and newgidmap
    Set uidmap as priority optional.
  * debian/login.su.pam: Enable pam_limits by default. Closes: #705301
  * debian/rules: Set default editor to sensible-editor for vipw.
    Closes: #688252

  [ Micah Anderson ]
  * added debian/patches/userns to enable use of subuids, plus some bugfix
    patches on top of them, patches from Eric Biederman, pulled from
    Ubuntu. Closes: #739981
  * Allow LXC devices (lxc/console, lxc/tty[1234]) in securetty.linux
  * Update documentation of UMASK: Explain that USERGROUPS_ENAB will modify
    this default for UPGs. (Closes: #583971)
  * login.postinst: install a default /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid
  * fix installation of setuid/setgid/newuidmap/newgid/map man pages

  [ Laurent Bigonville ]
  * Switch to dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format
  * Add build-dependency against bison
  * Call dh-autoreconf since we need to regenerate all the autofoo files

  [ Philippe Grégoire ]
  * Fix 1000_configure_userns to avoid dropping a needed #endif
    Closes: #744877

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * Bump Standards to 3.9.5 (checked)
  * Use 'set -e' in postinst scripts and not in thei shebang line
  * Explicitly point to GPL-2 document in debian/copyright
