I spoke too soon! The problem is that the initial installation did not create the group "users, gid=100". I'm not sure which component creates the group during install. The only thing that I did abnormally during the install was to not create a user (because I wanted to specify the uid manually). redhat-config-users should test for the existence of the group "users" before trying to use it and at least display a nice error (The default group "users" doesn't exist. Shall I create it?) instead of crashing. The group "users" is part of the default file written by the setup package (e.g. setup-2.5.25-1.noarch.rpm in RHL 9). It should pretty much always be there. That's not to say that redhat-config-users should crash if it isn't, of course. The 'users' group should always get created. I cannot explain why it didn't get created on installation on your system. I will try to change redhat-config-users to try to create this group if it doesn't exist. However, my feeling is that the absence of the 'users' group most likely a problem of some sort with your system. *** Bug 89319 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Actually, I think bug #78620 is causing the 'users' group to get deleted. Should be fixed in Rawhide. I'm working on making redhat-config-users automatically recreate the users group in case it doesn't exist when you try to add a new user to the 'users' group. Should be fixed in redhat-config-users-1.1.5-9 in Rawhide. *** Bug 116999 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |

No user is added. Traceback is displayed if redhat-config-users is started in a terminal window. Expected Results: Should add user. Additional info: redhat-config-users will not function after the traceback. Have to close the program and restart.
