If you run /usr/bin/redhat-config-users from a terminal session, do you see any errors that get sent to the terminal? I have no problems adding users using the utility.
Here is what is printed : [root@localhost root]# /usr/bin/redhat-config-users Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/userWindow.py", line 206, in on_userWin_ok_button_clicked fullName = a.encode("iso-8859-1") UnicodeError: Latin-1 encoding error: ordinal not in range(256) It only happens when there is a "Zcaron" letter in the full user name.
