Deleting an account using system-config-users tool deletes its group which is being shared by other users.
Issue
- Deleting an account using
system-config-userstool deletes its group which is being shared by other users. - User's primary group information is stored in /etc/passwd file.
- When two user share same primary group and one of the users is deleted using
system-config-userstool, other user looses its primary group. - The tool should look for used group id in /etc/passwd file while deleting user account
- It should not delete the group being used by others.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- system-config-users
