After some investigation, I've found this: The problem has nothing to do with the terminating numbers. It appears when you create users with any username.
The problem is: when you create more than one user, users-admin only creates the users you created in even positions. Example: 0. Open users-admin. Use it to create users in the following steps. Don't close the utility never during the rest of the process. 1. Create a user called "one". Type "cat /etc/passwd" in a terminal to see that the user is created: (one:x:1001:1004:one,,,,:/home/one:/bin/bash) 2. Create a user called "two". Type "cat /etc/passwd". "one" is gone. Only "two" is there: (two:x:1002:1005:two,,,,:/home/two:/bin/bash) 3. Create a user called "three". Type "cat /etc/passwd". "one" reappears. "two" disappears. "three" is created: (one:x:1001:1004:one,,,,:/home/one:/bin/bash three:x:1003:1006:three,,,,:/home/three:/bin/bash) 4. Create a user called "four". Type "cat /etc/passwd". "one" and "three" disappears. "two" appears again. "four" is created: (two:x:1002:1005:two,,,,:/home/two:/bin/bash four:x:1004:1007:four,,,,:/home/four:/bin/bash) ** Changed in: Ubuntu Sourcepackagename: None => gnome-system-tools ** Summary changed: - [edgy-beta] Adding user with name terminated by odd number doesn't create user + [edgy-beta] When you create more than one user with users-admin, it creates only the users in the even position ** Summary changed: - [edgy-beta] When you create more than one user with users-admin, it creates only the users in the even position + [edgy-beta] When you create more than one user with users-admin, it creates only the users that was created in even positions -- [edgy-beta] When you create more than one user with users-admin, it creates only the users that was created in even positions https://launchpad.net/bugs/64724 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
