User not listed

[mengelsen]

I created a new user via SSH. This user is a member of the 'sudo' group. However I do not see this user listed within the "Users" page, within OpenRSD.

Is this expected behavior? In other words, should the only users listed (on the "Users" page) be the users created via the OpenRSD webGUI?

This is strange - it should work no problem. Can the user created via ssh login to openrsd?

[mengelsen]

The only user who can login to OpenRSD is "pi". I am unable to login as "root", or as the user I created via SSH.

[mengelsen]

Is this behavior occurring because I modified the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file?

(OpenRSD: Advanced Installation instructions, Step #3) I changed the "User" and "Group" values to "pi".

User pi
Group pi

[mitchellurgero]

No, the users listed must have a valid login bin in /etc/passwd

[mengelsen]

Understood. Well...all of the users I am trying to authenticate with (via the pi Admin Panel) exist within /etc/passwd.

Such as: root, pi, openrsd, and webadmin

Basic Configuration -> Users -> Authentication Failures Also, OpenRSD does not record authentication failures that take place within the:

• WebGUI Admin Panel
• SSH connections

[mitchellurgero]

Authentication failure box is for OpenRSD (Software, not user) authentication fails.System authentication fails will be under Logs -> auth.

Also, OpenRSD does not record authentication failures that take place within the:

WebGUI Admin Panel
SSH connections

Yes, this is standard behavior.

Ahhh. Ok. That makes sense.

Oh users listed in /etc/passwd that don't use some type of shell as login (like /bin/bash) will not show up under users in OpenRSD. An example would be pi should show up, but NOT openrsd service user

Great idea. However, I think all of the users (that interest me) are using the same interactive shell.

webadmin:x:999:995::/home/webadmin:/bin/bash
openrsd:x:998:994::/home/openrsd:/bin/bash
pi:x:1000:1000:,,,:/home/pi:/bin/bash
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

I am still unable to view users (within OpenRSD) that possess the same login shell as the "pi" user. (Which is "/bin/bash")

Today I (tried to) create a new user, using the "Add User" button within OpenRSD.

The resulting output looked successful (See attached image.) However I found myself unable to sign into OpenRSD with this newly-created user account. I tried switching to this user, via the terminal, but was unable to do so. (Authentication failure. (Perhaps this is because I am accessing OpenRSD via HTTPS? IDK.)

I changed the user's password, via the the terminal. I can now switch to the user within the terminal; but I (still) can not log into OpenRSD as this newly-created user. Also, this user is not listed within the "Users" section of OpenRSD.

Thoughts?

I'll look into this bug this weekend - in the mean time, the user "pi" still works?

[mengelsen]

The user "pi" still works?

Yes. I can definitely sign into OpenRSD using the "pi" user.

Just checking in to see if there were any breakthroughs (as to why users created using OpenRSD aren't appearing within the Web Interface & their passwords are misconstrued).
