Ok, I think I see the bug you are talking about. I'll look into it further. In the User Properties window, I can add a user to other groups just fine. The problem I see is when I try to remove a user from his/her primary group and make the primary group something else. Then things seem to not work. Also, I will try to add the uid/gid setting. It shouldn't be too hard to add. I have implemented setting uid and gid. I will look at the primary group problem now. Ok, I've implemented the ability to change a user's primary group, and it works pretty well. The last thing left to do is warn the user if they try to remove a user from his/her primary group in the group properties window. Ok, when in the group properties window, if the user tries to remove a user from what is the user's primary group, we raise an error message to not allow that to happen. I think I've addressed the issues in the bug report, so I'm going to close this report now. A new version of redhat-config-users (1.0-1) will appear in Rawhide soon, but since redhat-config-users has been ported to GTK2 and Python2.2, you'll have to upgrade a whole bunch of packages to get it to work. The big problem is you'll have to upgrade libuser, which will need a new openssl, which will mean that most of the distro will need to be upgraded. ;) Unless you're feeling adventurous, it's probably better to wait until the next release of RHL, or upgrade to the next public beta when it is released. I'd really like more of your feedback before the next full release, though. Thanks for your report. Hi, I felt adventurous (never do...) and I tried to upgrade all required packages in order to test the new version and give some feedback (don't worry I am able to go back relatively easily). Now I am able to fire up the new user configuration screen, however a few functionality are failing. I suspect I am still missing some new packages, indeed I get Can not open Input Method module file '/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules': No such file or directory messages, however I was unable to find in rawhide the relevant stuff to fix these messages (I have /etc/gtk-2.0 from gtk2, but it is (almost) empty). Can you help? All packages I installed are from the rawhide release of march 18. Hmm...I can't tell exactly what package you are missing. Hey, how about trying our brand new public beta for the next release of Red Hat Linux? The installer should upgrade/install the packages you are missing. You will also get the latest version of redhat-config-users. I rebuilt it two days ago, so it hasn't appeared in rawhide yet. It can be found at: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/skipjack/en/iso/i386/ Still feeling adventurous? |
