From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11 Description of problem: With the latest version of system-config-users (1.2.51-3.el5), trying to create a new user always fails with an exception. The previous version (1.2.51-1.el5) works as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-users-1.2.51-3.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run system-config-users 2. Click "Add User" 3. Fill the appropriate fields 4. Click OK Actual Results: The "Create New User" dialog becomes unresponsive and the following can be seen on the console: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-users/userWindow.py", line 354, in on_userWin_ok_button_clicked groupEnt.set (libuser.GROUPNAME, groupName) NameError: global name 'groupName' is not defined Expected Results: The user should have been created. Additional info: This has been tested on two fully updated RHEL 5.1 machines (i386 and x86_64). On both cases, rolling back to the previous released version of system-config-users fixes the problem.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".
By that you mean it will be fixed in RHEL 5.2 right? I have no problem with that. I'm already "exclude="ing this package from the fasttrack channel, and the version in the normal channel is enough for me. I just filed this report to make sure it doesn't go unfixed forever. :)
This bugzilla was reviewed by QE as a non-FasTrack request. It has since been proposed for FasTrack. The qa_ack has been reset. QE needs to re-review this bugzilla for FasTrack.
Devel ACK. Read ya, Phil

Is it possible to look at source code of this update? It's not published.
Don't know why this hasn't been pushed to FTP yet (perhaps it will only be done with a product update, i.e with RHEL 5.2) -- the only change between the previous version and this one is replacing the offending line (the one mentioned in the traceback) with this one: groupEnt.set (libuser.GROUPNAME, userName)
