Bug Report: Suspended users becoming unsuspended

[hostpc.com]

possible bug - suspended users become unsuspended when moved to another server.

We recently (today) had to move all users from a server with a dying hard drive (RH9) to a new server. I logged in, ran backups on all sites (through the reseller backup interface) - restored on a preformatted system (CentOS 3)

When they moved, any users that were suspended on the old server, became unsuspended on the new server.

Thought you might want to look into that - it seems like a flag isn't being carried over in the backups - maybe?

Thanks

Joe

PS: Backup/restore was otherwise seamless and all users back online in VERY short order thanks to DA's backup feature. (Thanks)

Hello,

The backup feature needs to backup everything is a standardized format, so a suspended user will be "unsuspended" inside his backup.

I believe the flag is carried over (suspended=yes in the user.conf), but the backup/restore feature currently only restores accounts. It doesn't currently suspend the account after the restore, so the restore feature doesn't take any action based on that flag.

I'll add this to the versions system, so that a suspended account is suspended after a restore.
