In reply to comment 67 (Yann Rouillard):
I don't know if I have to file a separate bug for the behaviour I have
described. Maybe some other developer can say that.
After all, the fact is that system-tools-backend is not able to behave

@Renzo Bagnati: I think your problem is a different one.
Your AD users don't exist in /etc/passwd and unfortunately, the system-
tools-backend only know how to retrieve information from /etc/passwd, so
your AD users are considered invalid.
When the Users and Tools configuration panel retrieve

if a group have been deleted/added/modified.

This is a bug since 2005 for crying out loud. Shouldn't somebody just
simply review the whole code in the GUI (which creates this mess in the
first place)?

First, boot to recovery mode or boot from the CD again. That gives
you root access and you can change passwords using passwd. Also, you
can view /etc/group and /etc/passwd to see if your regular signon was

I am not having any luck at all reproducing the problem in Gutsy under a

expected.
Here's an easy test method:

Thanks for the updates. It's been at least 8 months since I looked at this
