Comment: Well, I tried adding 15 users and I still couldn't reproduce the freeze. However, I got a nastier problem instead! After adding all fifteen and clicking 'OK', the app seemed to be doing something for a few seconds, then quit (no crash report etc). So I took a look at /etc/passwd and none of the new users were listed. Directories had been created for them in /home though. I then found out that I couldn't use sudo (root), because of some authentication error. On typing sudo <commandname>, it would prompt me for my password and then fail to execute the command, silently. I couldn't use slocate either because 'the slocate group does not exist'. With my root access gone, I had to reinstall Dapper off CD. Tricky one! -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
