activity tracking issue when 'sg' requires password for group change #31

Closed OndrejHome closed 6 years ago

OndrejHome commented 6 years ago

When user is part of group that needs to be authenticated when changed using sg command, the fast-vm will prompt for password. Providing wrong password results into either skipping updating the notes file (minor issue) or not creating the notes file (major issue - as then VM will be considered to be owned by root).

this seems to be limited to systems with users from LDAP through SSSD. Using only local users and groups doesn't seems to produce this issue. So far issue was observed on RHEL 7.3 and 7.4, more investigation needed.
