From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: The Red Hat User Manager's "User Properties" dialog's "Password Info" tab apparently defaults to having "Enable Password Expiration" checked but "Days Before Account Inactive" set to 0 for accounts created from the commandline utility "adduser" (including the default account created at install time). So if a user tabs past that when adding a group membership the account is suddenly disabled. This can be very surprising. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-users-1.1.5-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a test user with the 'adduser' command. 2. Examine that user's properties with redhat-config-users. 3. Click the "Password Info" tab. 4. Click "OK" Actual Results: Account is disabled Expected Results: Account should NOT have been disabled: The user account should have continued functioning in the same manner it was BEFORE using the utility. (Better Defaults?) Additional info: This bug can lock an inexperienced user out of his newly installed system completely.
Part of the problem seems to be that the data I'm getting back from libuser isn't an accurate portrayal of what's in /etc/shadow.
