I just found out this option is offered in the Control Center if you have installed kde-guidance, so i'm reasssigning the bug to this package. I have looked into this bug quickly. It seems to be the following: kde-guidance creates a temporary file (with whatever umask is set to, in larrys case to 077) so the temporary file is with 0600 permissions. Then kde-guidance looks at group and owner of /etc/passwd and sets the same group and owner on the temporary file - and finally moves the temporary file over to /etc/passwd. I am not very good at python, so my analyzis might be wrong.

Do you remember exaclty the commands that you executed with kcmshell? I have looked at the Control Center and direclty in the kcmshell options and there is not User management module: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kcmshell --list | grep -i user useragent - Configure the way Konqueror reports itself kcm_useraccount- User information such as password, name and email privacy- Privacy - a kcontrol module to clean unwanted traces the user leaves on the system To manage users in KDE you have kuser.

I'm just using the Control Center GUI. KDE su claims it is invoking kcmshell System/userconfig --embed 52430481 --lang en_US when the Administrator Mode button is clicked.
