Have you selected a row (either a user or a group) that you wish to edit the
properties of?

Comment 2 Joachim Frieben 2001-08-22 19:22:46 UTC

The error occurs when one tries to edit the properties of some user (seems to 
work well for groups). The .xsession-errors file yields some output related to 
this erroneaous behaviour:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/libglade.py", line 28, in __call__
    ret = apply(self.func, a)
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/mainWindow.py", line 444, in 
on_properties_activate
    self.user_properties()
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/mainWindow.py", line 451, in 
user_properties
    self.userProperties.showUserProperties(userEnt, row)
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/userProperties.py", line 188, in 
showUserProperties
    if self.parent.ADMIN.userIsLocked(self.userEnt) == 1:

I can't reproduce this.  Can you try the redhat-config-users-0.9.2-4 that is in
Rawhide now and see if this still happens?

Comment 4 Joachim Frieben 2001-09-04 17:03:00 UTC

I had obtained this error message after upgrading from the previous version 
installed with Red Hat Linux 7.1.93 Beta (Roswell I). After a fresh install of 
Red Hat Linux 7.1.94 Beta (Roswell II), the included version (which is actually 
the rawhide version for which the bug was initially reported) works properly 
with respect to the reported behaviour. It seems like if the dependencies where 
not set up correctly.

Ok.  Glad to see that things are working now.  Thanks for your report.
