Description of problem: When I booted my RHEL 3 AS box for the first time, and it asked me to create a user, it spit out an error and told me to file a bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firstboot-1.1.19-1 How reproducible: firstboot only get's called once...

What information did you provide on the user creation screen?
"bigfix" for everything.
but now as I think about it again...I think that firstboot might not have exactly run on its very first boot. So I think I already created the user with "useradd -p bigfix bigfix" or something of that sort. This would probably cause firstboot to be confused. So maybe this might be a bug related to firstboot's ability to run only on the first boot.
Do you remember how firstboot might have failed the first time through? You can have firstboot be run again on reboot if you: # rm /etc/sysconfig/firstboot # chkconfig firstboot on
Closing since I have been unable to reproduce this here and information has not been supplied for several months. Feel free to repoen this bug if you continue to see this problem in a later update version of RHEL3.
