Description Mark Post 2003-08-01 15:07:06 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4)
Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)

Description of problem:
When I added several users to the system, these entries were created in /etc/shadow:
user1:$password1:12264:0:99999:7:::
user2:$password2:12264:0:99999:7:::

If I then go into user manager a second time, select "properties" for a user,
and then click "OK" instead of "Cancel" to exit, these values get entered into
/etc/shadow:

user1:$password1:12264:0:0:7:0::
user2:$password2:12264:0:99999:7:::

Note that I did _not_ change anything, I just displayed the user properties, and
then clicked on "OK" to exit.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add a user via User Manager
2.cat /etc/shadow
3.Select that user, and click on the Properties icon
4.Click "OK" to exit the properties display
5.cat /etc/shadow
    

Actual Results:  The data that was in /etc/shadow for the user I displayed was
modified.

Expected Results:  The data should have remained unchanged.
