Description V. Jenks 2004-09-03 23:21:14 UTC
I emerged the latest unmasked webmin, which happens to be webmin-1.150-r1. If I start the webmin service and log into it, it removes my current regular user from the wheel group so he cannot become su.

I can correct this simply by logging in as root and re-adding the user to the wheel group.  A minor annoyance but therefore should be easy to fix ;)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start webmin service (/etc/init.d/webmin start)
2. log off
3. log in - user formerly belonging to wheel group can't su
4. log out / log back in as root.
5. add user into wheel group again (usermod -g wheel <user>)
6. log back in as user, life is good.

Actual Results:  
? - already explained that...

Expected Results:  
*not* removed my user from the wheel group...

Not using masked builds, just whatever portage gave me.  Have sync'd, so no
worries there.

Hi.

    I tried to reproduce your error following your steps, but I couldn't; I emerged webmin version 1.150-r1, I started the webmin service, I log off and then, when according to your description I shouldn't be able to use su, I could. I checked /etc/group and my users are still in the wheel group. Are you sure webmin is who's taking your users out from wheel group?

I can't reproduce it either...
