Looks like cracklib has changed its error reporting a bit and system-config-users needs to be made aware of it. The following patch should take care of it.

Thanks for the patch, applied in the upstream repo. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping fixed since 1.2.83 |
