When trying to change the name of an existing group with a little Python script:


#!/usr/bin/python2.2

import libuser

a = libuser.admin()
groupEnt = a.lookupGroupByName('testgroup')
print groupEnt.get(libuser.GROUPNAME)[0]
groupEnt.set(libuser.GROUPNAME, "newname")
print groupEnt.get(libuser.GROUPNAME)[0]
a.modifyGroup(groupEnt)

I get the following error:

[root@bfox tmp]# ./modify.py
newname
testgroup
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./modify.py", line 10, in ?
    a.modifyGroup(groupEnt)
RuntimeError: unknown error


I don't think that the error is in the Python script.  Any ideas what's
happening in libuser at this point?  The bug prevents being able to change a
group name with redhat-config-users.  This bug exists as far back as
7.3...perhaps further back but I haven't tested that.
