OK, I see the problem. That's very similar to bug 432964. Check that there's a file called /etc/gshadow.lock, and possibly /etc/shadow.lock, /etc/passwd.lock too; if that's the case, remove them (no risk), and retry. The problem might come from a crash while using the guest session: do you remember such a situation?
If that fixes your issue, I'd still like to have a look at the '--gid 0' option that is used, which can really be a security risk. But I need to check the code and see what I can get here. -- [users-admin] Can't create new user accounts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459474 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
