Gosh, one mistake brings another... Here is the patch for the present
bug.
** Attachment added: 0001-Fix-user-password-modification.patch
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35022067/0001-Fix-user-password-modification.patch
** Attachment removed: fix-modifying-users.patch
Rationale for SRU:
- changing a user password fails with any user other than self, so this leaves
Karmic without GUI to do that
- this fix merely brings back a line that should never have been removed since
Jaunty, so there's basically no risk
- already applied upstream in the same form, should
with patch in #13 AND the previous @command vs. $command patch system-
tools-backends are now OK for me.

Thanks for the feedback. So if that doesn't work, could you follow the
procedure I described in my first comment?
** Summary changed:
- [users-admin] Modifying settings of an existing user has no effect
+ [users-admin] Modifying user password has no effect
** Changed in: system-tools-backends
i will try, but in my impression when i look at sub change_user in
Users.pm with geany, i have the impression as if there where actions
concerning passwords explicitly programmed only for FreeBSD and SunOS.

[users-admin] Modifying user password has no effect
i tried again with the following pasted and started in a terminal window
and was still not able to change the password of the other user with
an immediate effect.
fr...@jfh00:~$ sudo killall /usr/bin/perl; sudo
/usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl -m
PS: the change had no effect at all.

Yeah, you're right, that's what I eventually found out too. I've removed
that line when fixing something else in the latest release. I know it
was risky to commit such changes in a stable release, but I'd have
thought we'd have discovered it before. Next cycle we'll make
development releases to
