Description of problem:
redhat-config-users does segmentation fault in start after I added 40 users from
old system to new system's /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group by "hand"
with vi, vipw and vigr.

% redhat-config-users
/usr/share/redhat-config-users/redhat-config-users: line 4: 12396 Segmentation
fault      /usr/bin/python2.2 /usr/share/redhat-config-users/redhat-config-users.py
%



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-users-1.1.5-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Modify /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group with vi, vipw and vigr
2. run redhat-config-users


(I guess)    

Actual Results:  I have not re-done it.

Additional info:

I did strace for redhat-config-network (if that helps) and full strace is at:

http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/tsjuntun/redhat-config-users-strace.txt

and backtrace is here:

Comment 1 Brent Fox 2003-08-15 00:17:23 UTC

The backtrace looks like a libuser problem.  Changing components.

Comment 2 Miloslav Trmač 2004-09-02 16:56:31 UTC

Can you please attach or otherwise send me a sample /etc/passwd
file with which this problem occurs, if it still occurs
with a recent release?

Thanks.

Comment 3 Miloslav Trmač 2005-04-17 08:22:44 UTC

Please reopen this report if you can reproduce the problem on a recent release
and you can provide the requested data.

Thank you.
