Description of problem: If I create a new group using a specific ID (e.g. boinc2=601) and then create a user (e.g. boinc2=601) I get an error message that GID "None" is in use and the creation will not take place. This is a regression from previous behaviour where this sequence would create a "properly" numbered UID/GID setup for a user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: three days in a row on rawhide Steps to Reproduce: 1. run system-config-users 2. create a new group with a specific GID (e.g. boinc2 = 601) 3. create a new user with a specific UID (e.g. boinc2 = 601) 4. observe an error message Actual results: error message as described. Expected results: a "properly" numbered UID/GID pair for the selected user. Additional info: fresh install (except for /home) of rawhide 2006-07-22 on i686 machine.
Should be fixed in system-config-users-1.2.46 which should hit the mirrors soon (it's building right now), it asks the user what to do if a group with the same gid or name already exists. Please make a note of the package version you have in future bug reports (the state of Rawhide isn't preserved, it would be difficult to find that info later).
