I would like to correct some miss information on the bug report 83717. The upgrade was from rh 7.1 and not 7.3. In addition the original user and group files were maintained by linuxconf and not redhat-config-users. After running redhat-config-users and then existing gnome(X11 windows) back to a command prompt. The exit report from XFree86 shows : file "/usr/share/redhat-config-users gidNumber = userEnt.get(libuser.GIDNUMBER) [0] IndexError: list index out of range. This I think points to a passwd file structure / definition incompaitability between linuxconf and redhat-config-users. Ken Patching 17:09 UTC 07/02/03 There's not an easy way for me to reproduce this bug. There's no telling how linuxconf might have messed up /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and/or /etc/group so that libuser (the backend that redhat-config-users uses) can't read the files. One of the main reasons we stopped shipping linuxconf a few releases ago was it's unpredictability. I know this isn't the answer you want to hear but I really can't afford to spend the time necessary to track down the cause of this problem, especially since we don't ship linuxconf anymore. Closing as 'wontfix'. |
