Title
Accounts using autogen disappearing -
Description
On systems with autogen enabled to create account attributes some of the accounts are disappearing from the system seemingly at random. -
Cause
The primary group for some of the accounts had a '#' character as the first character in the group name. The '#' character was not being handled correctly when parsing the /etc/opt/quest/vas/autogen.group file. -
Resolution
WORKAROUND
The issue can be worked around by adding a '\' before the '#' in the groups in autogen.group beginning with that character.
