From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: I cannot add a user without a built-in group or home directory. This is annoying as hell, especially since I work with MySQL a LOT and am trying to create a user that will never have access to any other packages (than MySQL) on my machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-users-1.1.5-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect to your redhat machine, REMOTELY with VNC 2. log in as the root user 3. run : redhat-config-users 4. enter some data for a NEW user: username, password, confirm password, 5. choose login shell: /sbin/nologin 6. UNCHECK Create Home Directory 7. UNCHCEK Create a private group for the user 8. PRESS "OK" Actual Results: [root@mytoast joeb]# redhat-config-users Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/userWindow.py", line 315, in on_userWin_ok_button_clicked self.addToUsersGroup(userEnt, userName) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/userWindow.py", line 332, in addToUsersGroup cn = groupEnt.get(libuser.GROUPNAME)[0] AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get' Expected Results: It should have created a new user for me, but it freaked out and the GUI locked up for this component.
