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.

Comment 2 David Balažic 2002-11-22 00:51:25 UTC
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.
