** Description changed:
- See also Bug #179504
+ It's not possible to unlock the root account and to change the password
+ for that account using user-admin. user-admin looks like it worked but
+ when re-opening user-admin, root account is still locked and nothing has
+ been writen to /etc/shadow
- It's a bit confusing that I can enable local root login in the "Login
- Window Preferences" > Tab "Security", but the system does not allow it
- anyways. Either it should be possible to enable local root access by
- activating this option and unlocking the root user or this option should
- be removed or at least provided with a error/info message that this will
- not work.
+ This bug has been tested in Linux Ubuntu Hardy with gnome-system-tools
+ 2.21.3-0ubuntu1
