First, boot to recovery mode or boot from the CD again. That gives
you root access and you can change passwords using passwd. Also, you
can view /etc/group and /etc/passwd to see if your regular signon was
modified.
Note: no one else here has yet reported a problem with the
*command-line* utilit
Thanks.
I sent this note over to the developer at Ubuntu who owns this bug. He may

Likewise, most of the reports did very simple things. I tried to add a new

copied from another machine.)
But it stands to reason that it doesn't happen
Hmm Well it has been a while since I looked at it but all I did to
create the bug was use the GUI user-admin too to reassign a user to a
group. I noticed after that that directories the users should have had
access to they did not. Further investigation showed that they were not in

Charles,
Thanks for the updates. It's been at least 8 months since I looked at this

Martin,

is that it has been marked as critical. I am still getting emails from
other users that it is a problem and it seems a pretty critical one.
Because of some of my company requirements until this bug is fixed I can't
