Summary	0000192: Kali Linux fails to install when installing Kali pentest tools and specifying to install Kismet as SETUID with a username.
Description	When installing Kali Linux with the net install and the pentest tools, Kali will fail to successfully install when configuring Kismet to be installed via SETUID if one specifies username as prompted by the package manager (the package manager asks for a username to assign to the 'KISMET' group). After specifying the user to assign to the 'KISMET' group, the user is not asked to create this user anytime in the install, so when it comes to completing package installation, dpkg fails to complete the configuration of packages, aborting the install. From here the boot loader cannot be successfully installed, as DPKG is hung up on the fact that Kismet cannot complete the install as the user specified during Kismet configuration does not exist. In summary, this causes dpkg to fail when assigning the user to that group.
Steps To Reproduce	Install Kali Linux using the Kali Linux 1.0.1 (x64) net install, using the default package configurations with Kali Linux pentest tools. When the package manager comes to the setup for 'Kismet' and 'SETUID', select yes. When it asks you for a user to assign to the 'KISMET' group, specify any username other than 'root'. Then complete the install and the package manager will fail over and over.
Additional Information	To confirm this issue, as well as to work around it, I reviewed the install log in the console which was complaining that the user specified did not exist. I then verified that my encrypted partition was mounted, chroot'd to the disk, and added the user specified during the installation. This added a user with a UID of '1000' which is an indication that a user was in fact not created when specifying the user during the kismet configuration. I then completed the install (something like 'select and install packages') and the installation completed.

dookie 2013-08-09 19:46 reporter ~0000665	Since Kali is meant to run as the root user, have you tried using root for the install instead of your own user?

unixrox 2013-08-09 21:37 reporter ~0000671	Hello, Thank you for time time. Your question confuses me a bit. The installer is run by root, so I believe you are asking me if I just specify the 'root' user when the package manager asks about configuring a user for Kismet. If that is not the case, please disregard the rest of this and please work to clarify what you are asking. If this is what you are asking me (specifying the 'root' user during Kismet package configuration), I believe that doing this would resolve the issue (I have not tested this yet), as the UID 0 or root will almost always exist with a Linux install (not sure of an instance where it is not used) and having such privileges would not require to be part of the Kismet group. Granted, while Kali is designed to be run as the root user (as was the case with backtrack), like several others, we use it while pentesting using non-privliged accounts, working to become '0' as needed. All that said, if that is the way to consider resolution of this issue, then in my opinion the package manager should not even prompt for such information or work to just assign the user 'root' to the KISMET group (which the second is useless if you ask me). Either way, given that Kali Linux is intended for the smart masses (I feel for you all when reading about the noobs on facebook - LOL) and is designed to be run as root, skipping such a prompt will permit the install to complete without error where one can then simply work to assign a non-privileged user to the KISMET group as needed (should the need arise). Moving with this method, the package manager could simply alert the user to the fact that a non-privilaged user should be assigned to the 'Kismet' group should a normal user have the need for such elevated privileges for wireless interfaces. Then again, if they did not know this, they shouldn't be running Kali. The other (complex) alternative is working to verify that such a user exists and if not, creating the user specified during the package configuration of Kismet. If you ask me, I vote don't prompt the user, which is a nice alternative over walking away from a two or three day low level format just to find that it is looking for a user that does not exist. But then again, if you don't know how to work around such an issue, you shouldn't be running Kali anyways. LOL. Thanks again for your time, and contributing to this project. Don't listen to the noisy masses about minor issues such as /pentest dir missing and such. This is an awesome project and I think you all are taking this in the right direction.

muts 2013-08-11 16:18 reporter ~0000714	I think we have a 3-4 tools which have interactive package installations, kismet being one of them. This is something we should look into now that we support unattended installations.

rhertzog 2016-01-22 09:37 administrator ~0004575	The default Kali install does not even ask for a user account... so I wonder how you managed to trigger that bug. Can you still reproduce it in some way with Kali Rolling 2016.1? If not, then this bug can be closed I guess.
