Error while modifying users using YaST
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 5.1
YaST: Version 0.79
Symptom:
Modification of an existing user is not possible. This only applies if you change
entries with YaST.
Additional entries per user are created in /etc/passwd
and
/etc/shadow
Cause:
There is a bug in YaST 0.79 which causes this fault. The modified line is
inserted in addition to the already existing lines in /etc/passwd
and /etc/shadow
.
Solution:
Either you remove the user entry before by entering F5 and add it thereafter
or you may get a fixed YaST from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/suse51/a1
