Description Juha Laiho 2007-01-28 13:56:03 UTC 
The initial non-root user created during openSUSE 10.2 installation
is created with uid=1000,gid=1000, but no group matching that gid is
created.

The immediate result of this is that resmgr session setup for the user
concerned will fail when logging in via kdm;
/var/log/warn will contain lines like:
Jan 28 14:42:00 chaos kdm: :0[17221]: pam_resmgr: resmgr login failed
Jan 28 14:59:11 chaos kdm: :0[17221]: pam_resmgr: resmgr logout failed

... and after such a login "/sbin/resmgr dump sessions" will indicate
that no sessions exist. Running resmgrd with debug output enabled will
show the error message revealing the problem, that it is refusing the
connection due to non-existence of group with gid 1000.

The further effect of this is that f.ex. scanner access is blocked - so
this is one root cause for bug 218393. I suspect that this does also
affect a number of other "desktop device" access grants.

Hm, it's the case user was imported from previous system, where he had group 1000 as a default group...
Comment 4 Juha Laiho 2007-02-02 22:05:36 UTC 
This seems odd. I think I did have such a user on the previous installation, but I'm pretty confident I chose to make a new installation, instead of any kind of update. But then, that'd explain the invalid gid.
Comment 5 Jiří Suchomel 2007-02-05 10:22:42 UTC 
fixed for SLES10SP1 and openSUSE 10.3
