Now I can see what's the problem. You shouln't have to authenticate when closing the first dialog. If it does so, that's because it wants to commit your user configuration - and since there are two separate programs here, the first one (users-admin) overwrites the changes that were made since it

Thanks for your report. I'd need more debugging to find the precise line that triggers the crash, since the stacktrace seems to have changed the line numbers a bit. Could you install debug package from [1] and run shared-admin in gdb? The procedure is: gdb shares-admin [crash] ba q And then

Sadly gdb doesn't seem to find the source file, which does not allow us to get details about the crash. From what I see in the code, we could crash if libhal returns an array without telling us its real size. We could check that the code in libhal is not buggy in that regard, but anyway HAL is now

OK, I've finally found http://bugs.gentoo.org/278760 which explains that libhal returns NULL when no devices are found, not even setting the number of devices to 0. So we should check that before trying to add them to our internal list. I don't know why shares-admin needs the list of network

That's not a workaround, that's the normal procedure. Why would you use 'passwd -e' in the first place, if you want ot change your own password? The only bug I can see here is that PolicyKit should allow users to authenticate even if their password is marked for expiration until they log change
