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
