Is this only a Dapper problem? I am not having any luck at all reproducing the problem in Gutsy under a VM. I have done 8 trials of various operations, and all did nothing but expected.
Here's an easy test method: mkdir -p ~/trials/orig cd ~/trials/orig cp /etc/passwd . cp /etc/group . mkdir ../try1 # do some things in the Users and Groups applet cd ../try1 cp /etc/passwd . cp /etc/group . cd .. diff -u ./orig/passwd ./try1/passwd diff -u ./orig/group ./try1/group Examine results to see if it they make sense according to what you did in the applet. Rinse and repeat. Compare try1 with try2 next, try2 to try3, etc... -- Adding a user to a group modifies other users' groups and passwords https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26338 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
