I think there may be some confusion here; the original bug, as we understood it, was that an administrator could not add a user unless email was configured and working properly (i.e., every addition of a user required the system to send an email to the user, for the user to repond, and for the admin to approve the reponse). The fix we put in allows the admin to check the 'skip email confirmation' box, which skips the email confirmation ping-pong process and directly approves and enables the user. Thus, we consider this particular bug to be resolved.
However, as you indicate, the admin must still enter an email address for each user. Is this further requirement (to not require the email address be specified) desired? -- admin user cannot configure a user without an email address https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341710 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
