The question is should we go this way or rewrite userdrake in perl by adding features to adduserdrake ?

[Cooker] userdrake
Anyone get userdrake to work? I'm having problems with it. It seems to start the process, then it goes into the background and disappears. The same thing happens when clicking on users in drakconf. Also, it seems to create the files /etc/gtmp and /etc/ptmp, then leave those behind. Generally I need to delete those files to try to start the program, but then it still doesn't open. I tried upgrading to the newest userdrake, but still no luck. Is this a bug, or is there something I can do to fix this? -Eric Hattemer

[Cooker] Userdrake problems
Hi,
I was just running userdrake to check how to translate some strings, when I
realized it was unable to read my users from /etc/passwd". Dunno where else
it was looking for. I got only an empty window :-(
BTW what should be in "/etc/sysconfig/desktop"? I've neber seen this file
on a Mandrake box ...

[Cooker] Userdrake suggestion - larger icons for users
Hi.
In userdrake it's possible to select the image which should be displayed
when logging in via {g,k}dm. These images are tiny compared to what they
look like in {g,k}dm.
Would it be possible to display those icons the same size as they appear in
{g,k}dm? Also I might want to suggest that the icons are moved away from
the right click context menu onto the user details screen you get when
double clicking on a user. On this dialog, there should be enough space to
display one icon in full size. Another adavantage would be, that it would
be possible to add another button there which would allow the admin to
"upload" an image which should be displayed for this user.
If you want to keep an overview about all the possible/available icons, I'd
suppose that you could add a hot spot which displays all the icons when
clicked on the same way it is now. Hmm, or maybe do not remove the way
icons can be selected now, but add what I suggested above (2nd paragraph) so
that both ways are possible.
On the userdetails screen there should be an up-/down-arrow switching thru
the available icons.
What do you think? Possible?

[Cooker] userdrake reverse sorts /etc/group file
Hi Userdrake 0.3-2mdk: 1. Toolbar icons are big and don't fit on toolbar, so toolbar edges are bad. 2. After saving, /etc/group file is resorted in reverse order. For example, fragment of my /etc/group file: root:x:0:root bin:x:1:root,bin,daemon ... roman:x:506: After adding user test (new group test) we got: roman:x:506: ... bin:x:1:root,bin,daemon root:x:0:root test:x:507: This is discourage behaviour for users. In some programs (midnight commander's chown dialog window) user-selection and group-selection lists become messed.
[Cooker] userdrake: Bigger faces
Hi! Would it be possible to have the faces that are displayed when right clicking on a name and choosing "Change face" to be displayed in the same size as they are when logging in? Hmm, maybe it even should be moved to the dialog that pops up when double clicking a name? The dialog is a rather "tall" and has some unused space on there - why not put the face there?
