Hi again, Phil!
It's a pity that you didn't go on introducing users. I reproduced what you did
(10 users from 'one' to 'ten', home directory '/home/taller2/$user') and it
doesn't freeze. I checked also /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, and everything
alright. [The reason that I told you that when creating over 5 or 6 users in
one time it didn't work, was that me and other student didn't introduce more
than 5 or 6 users at a time (and no problem), and the rest created the 14 in
one time (and freezed). I should say that in one number between 6 and 15, the
system couldn't create so many users. I'm sorry not to have explained it
correctly in the first time].
But after the successful creation of 10 users, I did the same again, but now
with 15 users (this time in greek :-) 'ena', 'dio' up to 'dekapente', and home
directory '/home/taller3/$user'), and it freezed! In fact, it doesn't freeze;
it's like if it gets trapped in a never-ending “while (1)” loop, because you
can close the window nicely. Finally, I did it again with other 15 users ('un',
'deux', 'trois'..., home dir: '/home/room/$user'), but starting from a
gnome-terminal ($ sudo users-admin ), and no message in the terminal (again
“freezed”). This last fact proves that it must be in a kind of infinite loop,
waiting for something. To be more explicit, you close the window with one
click, but in the terminal it looks like it didn't notice, so you have to do in
the terminal a CTRL-C.
In both cases (15 users to be created), no user is created, as I could
check in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files.
For your information, my gnome-system-tools package version is
1.4.0-0ubuntu10, and users-admin version is 1.4.0
I recommend you to do it again with 15 (or more) users. Hope this info.
is enough to give some light to this bug.
Cheers,
Rafael.
PD.: I have some screenshots of all processes, if you need them. If
that's so, tell me and I'll send them to you.
