ZCS6 Posix Account Zimlet

[todd_dsm]

I'm doing the ZCS6/Samba thing and I caught a little problem...

During account creation, the Posix Account screen allows you to pull-down for Posix group and loginShell.

Posix group: When you select a posix group from the drop-down the gid number is not auto-populated in the gidNumber field.
*If you were to click the Next button anyway, then the Back button, it does get populated.

loginShell: This drop-down does not list the shells: /bin/bash,/bin/sh,/bin/false

I've searched and found loginShell greps from /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config/cn=config/cn=schema/cn={10}nis.ldif

These are the settings that get deployed:
# cat /tmp/zimlets_posix/config_template.xml
<zimletConfig name="zimbra_posixaccount" version="6.0.2">
<global>
<property name="loginShells">/bin/bash,/bin/sh,/bin/false</property>
<property name="homePath">/export/homes/%u</property>
<property name="gidBase">10000</property>
<property name="uidBase">10000</property>
<property name="ldapSuffix">dc=domain,dc=tld</property>
<property name="ldapGroupSuffix">ou=groups</property>
</global>
</zimletConfig>

All fairly straight-forward.

I have 4 shells going on a second 22" monitor to tail -f various logs and I don't show any zimbra-related errors during account creation. I'm not sure where to go after this.

Has anyone seen and fixed this before?

TIA, TT

Bug #43530 going to be fixed in 7.0

Does it list anything at all? Can you attach a screenshot?

Greg,

If the Posix Group drop-down has a bug - no worries. It doesn't hold up a thing; the correct gid is still associated with the user via drop-down selection.

loginShell...

Nada. I could send you a screen shot but it would be a screen shot of nothing :P

I can describe it to you:
When clicked or unclicked, visually the loginShell drop-down looks the same - no change at all. Not like it's attempting to give you an empty list - more like it's not doing anything at all.

OK, here's the screen shot anyway. Here, I've created a new posix group called 'whatever' and a new user 'user7' and assigned the new user to the whatever group. Also, I'm currently clicked on the loginShell drop-down while taking the screen shot with the other hand - whew!
