From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016 Description of problem: Running any of the system administration from GUI for a non-privileged asks normally for the root password. If you use spaces within the password the GUI won't accept that and exits. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the system with initdefault=5 2. Enter the root account and change the password to one that includes spaces. 3. Logout of the root account. 4. Enter non-root account (GUI). 5. Choose redhat-config-bind from the menu. 6. Try to enter the password that you just changed. Actual Results: The dialog box that requests for the password pops up 3 times (including the first time it appeared). The whole process stops and the application is not loaded. Additional info: I changed the password to one that doesn't hold any spaces. This process didn't repeat itself.
