#45737: dbus +no_root deleted my root account on MacOSX 10.5.8 ------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: newchief@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.2 Keywords: | Port: ------------------------+-------------------------------- Although installation of dbus with +no_root use flag ended with error message that +no_root should not be used on my system, still actions were taken! my "System Administrator (root)" user with uid 0 was replaced by "Message Bus (root)" with uid 503. As a result, I couldn't do "sudo" anymore! Apart from shell commands that require root, all other system administrative operations seem to work. I deleted "Message Bus (root)" user from list of users being logged as my usual user (which is Administrator of this system). Now sudo says there's no root user entry in password file (well, root IS listed in /etc/passwd file, but I guess it is not where MacOSX keeps user info). System is doomed, wihout sudo, no macports anymore. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45737> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
