Whoops

Whoops

[Lon H. Hohberger]

I've tripped up on this MoinMoin bug:

http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/AdminSelfDemotion

When I log in as 'LonHohberger', it sets my name to 'rpeterso'.  The
email address originally used for LonHohberger (lhh@sourceware.org) is
unset, and I can't change back to ... me.

Basically, I was trying to remap rpeterso's email so he could create a
new account 'BobPeterson' (rpeterso@redhat.com), and ended up becoming
'rpeterso' permanently...

There's a workaround in the above link.

I've followed the workaround, so see if you can reverse it now. Let me know
when it's done, and I'll remove the privileges from rpeterso.

Strange, now I can't view any pages ;)  Maybe if we made both admins
temporarily?

Sorry, typo in file. Try again.

Nope, same problem.  Here's the weird thing -

 * if I log in as 'LonHohberger', it works but switches me to 'rpeterso'
 * if I change my name to LonHohberger, it will claim the username is in
use
 * if I change the email in my userprefs to 'rpeterso@redhat.com' (bob's
email address), it says the email address belongs to someone else.
 * if I try to log in as 'rpeterso', it doesn't work, and takes me to
the account creation page.

How are accounts stored?  Maybe it's best to just start tinkering with
the account files... I'll do some research

You mean you still can't view any pages? The syntax I used for two admins
should be right:
    acl_rights_before = u"LonHohberger:read,write,delete,revert,admin
rpeterso:read,write,delete,revert,admin"

Maybe it's because there appears to be accounts called rpeterso in the user
account list now. There's also a name to ID number cache, which is probably
why you're still able to login as LonHohberger. Ok, I've manually editted
the user file for your account so your name should be back to LonHohberger
again. Let me know....

Worked great :)

Also, rpeterso can stay admin.  It's better to have two I suspect.
