Public bug reported:

I am trying to add ftp users to my system with the 'users and groups'
applet and it is not working correctly.  When I try to add unpriveleged
users, i want all of them to have the same home dir '/home/fileserver'.
The applet refuses to let me do this.  It says home dir already exists.
Also, when i try to select a shell of '/bin/false' the pulldown is
empty.  I checked the /etc/shells and /bin/false is there.  Why is the
list not populated with the data from /etc/shells?

Why is the users and groups applet so broken?

I guess I will have to use command line until this is fixed.
