When change or login to specific user, 'abrt-cli status' timed out is always shown

Environment

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3
• abrt-2.1.11-45.el7.x86_64

Issue

• When change or login to specific user, 'abrt-cli status' timed out is always shown

# su - testuser

Last login: Mon Jun 12 15:00:40 JST 2017 from localhost on pts/0

'abrt-cli status' timed out

Resolution

• Since lastnotification file is not owned by testuser the user can't update the file. Usually, the file is updated when change or login to the user, and it records the latest time.
• If the system has a large quantity of abrt status information and it takes over 10 sec, the time out message will be shown every time.
• To prevent it, correct the file permission, so that the file can be updated. Once the file is updated, time out message should not be shown.

# chown testuser lastnotification
