Sorry, this error output only happened on my test system because I had a no-password test user, so "password" was null. Changing this, I get no errors on the console and I also don't get any updates to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.
So the bug lies elsewhere. -- hardy users-admin does not write to /etc/passwd or /etc/group https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192313 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
