Description of problem: system-config-users does not allow to create user with non-ascii password. On the other hand standard 'passwd' tool allows that. Is there any reason to prohibit non-ascii password? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-users-1.2.105-1.fc14.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to create a new user with non-ascii characters in his password (like ěščřžýá) Actual results: user is not created Expected results: user is created Additional info: This bug report relates to system-config-users and firstboot.
Created attachment 455780 [details] s-c-u disallowing non-ascii passwords
The problem may be two-fold: - Ordinary users probably don't know what ASCII is. How about: "The chosen password contains characters which may be hard or impossible to type in in certain situations. To ensure the password can be typed in everywhere please use only unaccented Latin letters (A-Z, a-z), digits (0-9), punctuation characters (e.g. comma, full stop) and the space character in the password." - s-c-users probably should only warn about this and let the operator decide if this should be done regardless (after the appropriate admonition).
(In reply to comment #2) > - s-c-users probably should only warn about this and let the operator decide if > this should be done regardless (after the appropriate admonition). I like this idea ... it fits naturally with the existing mechanism that warns whether a password is weak.

system-config-users-1.2.106-1.fc14 does not work for me: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-users/userWindow.py", line 215, in on_userWin_ok_button_clicked if createHomeDir and not userGroupCheck.isHomedirOk(homeDir, self.userWinHomeDir): File "/usr/share/system-config-users/userGroupCheck.py", line 276, in isHomedirOk if selinux.is_selinux_enabled(): AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'is_selinux_enabled' That happens when I receive warning about non-ascii password and hit "Yes" for "use anyway" question.
