Can you provide output of the following command: ls -l /etc/shadow
On my system it reports: -rw-r----- 1 root shadow 850 2006-04-29 20:44 /etc/shadow There was a bug that changed group ownership from "shadow" (as above) to "root". Maybe you are hit by this. In such case, running "sudo chgrp shadow /etc/shadow" may fix the problem. -- [kubuntu dapper] Cannot enable administrator mode in Users&Groups administration https://launchpad.net/bugs/42013 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
