Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2008-01-17 15:26:08 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".

Comment 3 Oleg L. Sadov 2008-04-01 15:44:28 UTC

Seems like a coding error -- 'groupName' is not defined variable in
userWindow.py. May be fixed by this patch:

This is already fixed in the upstream Fedora packages, but we don't have the
proper flags for integrating this in the RHEL-5 packages.

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2008-04-02 09:13:25 UTC

This bugzilla has Keywords: Regression.  

Since no regressions are allowed between releases, 
it is also being proposed as a blocker for this release.  

Please resolve ASAP.

Comment 7 Nils Philippsen 2008-04-02 10:50:58 UTC

Ahh, my bad -- this bug has been reported already and fixed in
system-config-users-1.2.51-4.el5. Sorry for the confusion.
