Subject: bug#35996: User account password got locked when booting old generation
Date: Wed, 29 May 2019 22:45:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190529204517.mqn5xrw23xib4i3u@pelzflorian.localdomain> (raw)
After I reconfigured to a broken, unbootable generation and then
rebooted to an old working generation, I found my user account
password was locked. This was my /etc/shadow:
root::18045::::::
florian:!:18045::::::
nobody:!:18045::::::
guixbuilder01:!:18045::::::
guixbuilder02:!:18045::::::

colord:!:18045::::::
avahi:!:18045::::::
gdm:!:18045::::::
httpd:!:18045::::::
Logging in as root (root had an empty password before as well) and
running `passwd florian` fixed it, and I *cannot* reproduce the bug
anymore by booting the broken generation again, i.e. my password
remains set now.
I presume it is not possible to lock a password by typing the wrong
password too often on the virtual console?
If you think this is not enough material to work on, feel free to
close this bug, but there seems to be some misbehavior somewhere in
Guix’ password management.
(The reason for the new generation’s brokenness seems unrelated; it
could not boot after I tried adding syslogd to the requirements of
udev-shepherd-service.)
Regards,
Florian
