#3866 ipa-restore replaces /etc/group and /etc/passwd, changing user/group IDs in the process
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by tbabej.

From Bill Peck (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=995562#c2):

I've also run into the issue that ipa-backup/ipa-restore blindly copies over /etc/group and /etc/passwd. Major problem is that groups can get created in different orders on different installs.

In my situation ssh_keys and polkitd group id's are swapped.

This causes sshd to freak out and prevent me from ssh'ing into the machine.


3.4 development was shifted for one month, moving tickets to reflect reality better.

Adjusting time plan - 3.4 development was postponed as we focused on 3.3.x testing and stabilization.
