Which User Manager GUI? We're shipping several of them (none of them is 
related to the kdeutils package).

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-08-09 12:59:12 UTC
Assuming you mean redhat-config-users and reassigning.


Comment 3 Airong Zhang 2001-08-09 13:52:41 UTC
I probably made a mistake when I tried to chioce the component for it. Forget what I chose. 
The GUI is: 

 For gnome:     gnomeicon-->programs-->system-->User Manager
 For KDE:         Kdeicon --> system --> User Manager

Beta 2 was the first appearance of redhat-config-users in the tree.  As such, it
was not functionally complete.  The version that shipped in beta 3 handled the
basic tasks such as adding groups and users, with some editing capabilities.  I
bave finished the user and group editing screens, so everything should work now.
 There may still be bugs there, but it is functionally complete at this time.

Both the bugs you mentioned should have been fixed for Beta 3.  Please try with
the version from beta 3 (redhat-config-users-0.7.0.noarch.rpm) and see if that
doesn't fix the bugs you reported.  Please reopen this bug report if you still
see problems.
