Package: adduser
Version: 3.59
Severity: normal
I have these files in /etc/skel:
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 27 09:51 nosync
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 27 09:52 tmp -> nosync/tmp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Aug 27 09:51 trashcan -> nosync/trashcan/
where the nosync directory looks like:
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 27 09:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 27 09:59 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 27 09:51 tmp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 27 09:51 trashcan
When creating a new user joed, everything else is copied correctly,
except that:
drwxr-xr-x 4 joed joed 4096 Aug 27 09:51 nosync
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 27 09:52 tmp -> nosync/tmp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Aug 27 09:51 trashcan -> nosync/trashcan/
^^ the ownership of the links doesn't change. I belive it should have been changed too.
