Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 2.22.0-3
Severity: critical
File: /usr/bin/users-admin
Justification: causes serious data loss
I tried to add a new user with users-admin over gnome-control-center, and then
/etc/group was overwritten with a new version including only two lines.
nogroup and a group named with the name from the new user and number 0.
/etc/group- was the same.
Fortunately i found a backup in /var/backup which was 10 days old.
This happend the 3rd time on two different Systems (both Debian Lenny).
Now i reconstructed the /etc/group-file, but now i get no acces to users-admin,
also trying this as root. Wheter from an xterm nor from gnome-control-center.
regards jakob

Version: 2.30.2-1
The bug has been fixed upstream and I successfully verified that for the
version in in squeeze.
LDAP support is still missing in users-admin, but it gracefully handles
them now and no longer removes them when editing group memberships.
I'm marking the bug as fixed in 2.30.2-1 as this is the version I tested.
