Description of problem: Using the properties dialog it is possible to make the utility lock up by inputting invalid characters into the password expiration fields. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.60 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.As a none root user open the system-config-user utility - enter root password when prompted. 2.Select any user from the list, in my case the user is called ray. 3.Click the properties button and select the 'Password Info' tab. 4.Check the 'Enable password expiration' checkbox. 5.Enter a non-numerical string into any of the foure fields and press OK. Actual results: The utility locks and never recovers. Expected results: The utility should validate the input and inform the users of invalid input. Additional info: The utility also permits negative numbers to be saved. This agsin should be captured during the validation stage.
Also, it is possible to input really large numbers, which again make the utility lock up after pressing OK. The utility should apply a maximum length to these fields.

The utility still permits me to input characters into year, month or date box. For example, I can type 'rat' into the year box meaning the year of the rat. Its stupid of me to do this, but possible. When I press OK the utility hangs. The terminal in which the utility was started has the following message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-users/userProperties.py", line 455, in on_ok_button_clicked year = int(year) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10, 'rat' To recover I have to kill the utility.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I have tested the problem in Fedora 9 and it still exists.

I've tested it with version 1.2.79 which is available for Fedora 9 and instead of crashing, it gave me an error dialog if I put in non-numeric values in these fields. Please reopen if you can reproduce the problem on this or a later version.
