Description

if you create a root account through the users tab in setup,
after you delete it, the root entry in /etc/passwd gets removed also.
thus disabling the use of the real root account on the system.

i have experienced this two times in a row after adding a user named root to the system using the "users" tab on the hda homepage.

how did you create a "root" user??

we put some controls in place to not allow for users that already exist from being created:

hi,

here is a patch that fixes the issue on the server side.

rpm -Uvh http://alpha.amahi.org/noarch/hda-platform-3.1-3.noarch.rpm

however, i cannot reproduce it, even without this patch,
but somehow you managed to create it. if you could specify
how (browser, settings like javascript, etc.), it would be great.
