After "Recovery Actions" issues

[GoogleCodeExporter]

After "Recovery Actions" (§4.1 of wiki "AboutButtonsAndLeds") several issues 
appears:

1/ all users are removed, ntp server back to default, inetd back to default.

2/ via WEB interface "Time Setup": impossible to change ntp server in section 
"Adjust time through internet". Exactly, I can choose a ntp server but "Submit" 
button restor "pool.ntp.org".

3/ via WEB interface "Users and groups Setup": It's possible to create users 
normaly, but after a reboot all users are removed and the web interface "Users 
and Groups Setup" is empty (exept group "users").

4/ via WEB interface "Users and groups Setup": if same user is created twice 
(create,remove, create), the user can't login on the system (over ssh). In the 
same time if I do a "adduser" command line with the same user name, the user is 
able to login.

5/ via WEB interface "inetd Setup" : It's possible to modify normaly 
parameters, but after a reboot all parameters are back to the default values.

Hi,

I have installed all alt-f packages and make a normal reboot.
After reboot, the WEB interface ask me a new root password, and all the 
configuration was remove (execpt Disk configuration).

Issues 1/ 3/ and 5/ are fixed.

Now, issues that remains :

2/ via WEB interface "Time Setup": impossible to change ntp server in section 
"Adjust time through internet". Exactly, I can choose a ntp server but "Submit" 
button restor "pool.ntp.org".

4/ via WEB interface "Users and groups Setup": if same user is created twice 
(create,remove, create), the user can't login on the system (over ssh). In the 
same time if I do a "adduser" command line with the same user name, the user is 
able to login.

Thanks

The recovery does exactly what it says:

... if you press the back button for more that twenty seconds, all the settings 
saved in flash will be erased ... the box will behave as if no settings has 
ever been saved,

all your "issues" are thus perfectly normal.

2/ - this is the normal behaviour, as it is a one-time adjustement. To change 
the ntp server, go to Services->Network->ntp->Configure.

4/ - I can't reproduce this. Try uninstaling openssh and see if the issue is 
reproductible (with a completely new user). But there are some issues with the 
Setup->Users web page on RC2.

After my "Recovery Actions", the IP configuration was not erased, but I don't 
know if I press the back button for more that ten seconds or more that twenty 
seconds...

Thank for the point 2/. It's very clear.

About point 4 /: I realized my mistake when I edit the file "/etc/password": in 
fact, the "login ID" is the "nick name" and not the "user name" also called 
"full name". So your WEB interface works fine. Sorry for the Invalid issue.

I have also use the patch of issue n°75 (usersgroups.cgi, 
usersgroups_proc.cgi), and it works fine now.
