Gosh, one mistake brings another... Here is the patch for the present
bug.
** Attachment added: 0001-Fix-user-password-modification.patch
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35022067/0001-Fix-user-password-modification.patch
** Attachment removed: fix-modifying-users.patch
Rationale for SRU:
- changing a user password fails with any user other than self, so this leaves
Karmic without GUI to do that
- this fix merely brings back a line that should never have been removed since
Jaunty, so there's basically no risk
- already applied upstream in the same form, should
with patch in #13 AND the previous @command vs. $command patch system-
tools-backends are now OK for me.

Yeah, you're right, that's what I eventually found out too. I've removed
that line when fixing something else in the latest release. I know it
was risky to commit such changes in a stable release, but I'd have
thought we'd have discovered it before. Next cycle we'll make
development releases to
Thanks for the feedback. So if that doesn't work, could you follow the
procedure I described in my first comment?
** Summary changed:
- [users-admin] Modifying settings of an existing user has no effect
+ [users-admin] Modifying user password has no effect
** Changed in: system-tools-backends
i will try, but in my impression when i look at sub change_user in
Users.pm with geany, i have the impression as if there where actions
concerning passwords explicitly programmed only for FreeBSD and SunOS.

[users-admin] Modifying user password has no effect
i tried again with the following pasted and started in a terminal window
and was still not able to change the password of the other user with
an immediate effect.
fr...@jfh00:~$ sudo killall /usr/bin/perl; sudo
/usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl -m
PS: the change had no effect at all.
