Hi Wido,
i really like the ability to check for the next available uid as found
in the directory. it was one of my biggest wishes for Luma.
so, along those lines i have a few suggestions that may/may not be of
any use (or want for that matter) for Luma's continued development:
1. next available GID (to compliment the next UID)
2. like your drop down for the password hash choices, maybe
in a similar fashion adding a button for find next UID/GID.
- example, i created a "Unix Account" template using the
template plugin. then i head over to the Browser plugin
and right click to bring up the "Add Item -> Unix Account".
it then pops up the template for me to fill out just like
it should. it's here when i choose to modify the uidNumber
or gidNumber that the extra "Next Free" button would be
very handy. i could always go to the Usermanagment plugin
first, get the next UID (and hopefully GID) and go back. but,
i don't want to run the risk of someone taking the UID/GID
before i finish, etc.
3. adding an account lock/unlock to the password hash choices
- this would allow for an account to be locked out, without
having to change the password or delete the account right
away.
- i figured a ! could be inserted at the beginning of
the password string if it's encrypted:
{MD5}!CY9rzUYh03PK3k6DJie09g==
- if the hash is cleartext (why?) it would have to be
a little more creative since inserting the ! is more
like security through obscurity. maybe something
along these lines:
{!cleartext}test
or
{LUMARULES}test
that's all if have for right now (barring your threading support
in upcoming releases), i hope you find it of some use.
keep up the good work, Luma is really looking good!
