Description Joachim Frieben 2001-08-15 17:19:09 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:
When creating a new user account, changing the default shell does not have 
any effect. It is necessary to edit the user properties separately to make 
this change effective.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.7.0-0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch 'redhat-config-users'.
2. Create a new user and set the default shell to a different shell 
than 'bash'.
3. Have a look at the user properties list or type 'more /etc/passwd'.
	

Actual Results:  Default shell is still 'bash'.

Expected Results:  Default shell should the selected one.

Additional info:

Editing the user properties within 'redhat-config-users' makes the change 
happen.

We (Red Hat) should really try to fix this before next release.

Comment 2 Brent Fox 2001-08-16 20:06:13 UTC

Fixed in cvs.  Thanks for your report.  The fix should appear in the
redhat-config-users-0.9.2-3 package, when it gets built.
