I have also tried to delete my user password by typing passwd -d then the user
name and it also came up with a segmentation fault that is all it said.  I do
not know if this has anything to do with the other problem or not but I do
beleave the problem is related.


Comment 2 Brent Fox 2002-10-21 15:09:14 UTC
Have you edited /etc/passwd by hand?  Also, did you specify in the installer or
authconfig to use MD5 passwords?

Comment 3 Michael 2002-10-21 22:10:15 UTC
I have loaded up the /etc/passwd in a text editor after I notice nothing would 
work but did not edit it. I do have tha ability to do so however. I have 
reinstalled linux 4 times and I tried it with and without MD5 passwd. I have 
also tried it with and without shadow passwd

Comment 4 Michael 2002-10-21 22:38:33 UTC
I have also tried to edit the about myself in the control center and after
typing in my passwd it came up with "unknown error" in a window and an ok button
I wonder if all these problems are related.

Comment 5 Brent Fox 2002-10-22 15:42:19 UTC
My guess is that they are all related.

Comment 6 Brent Fox 2002-10-22 20:31:35 UTC
Ok, I can reproduce this crash if I select to not use MD5 passwords and shadow
passwords during the install.

Comment 7 Brent Fox 2002-10-22 20:36:42 UTC
However, this is a libuser bug and not a redhat-config-user bug.  To
demonstrate, do the following as root:
1) # /usr/bin/python
2) >>> import libuser
3) >>> admin = libuser.admin()

Segmentation fault.  

This bug is a dupe of bug 68245.

Comment 8 Michael 2002-10-22 23:50:14 UTC
I can reproduce the problem with or with out MD% or Shadow password.  the things
you wanted me to do as root.  I do not get the error unless I have the MD5 password.
