Description Kazankov Alexander 2008-08-08 08:12:46 UTC
I run 'sudo system-config-users' and get error:

system-config-users requires a currently running X server.

That's works?

Reproducible: Always

Please try and run it without sudo - it should present a su dialog in which you can enter the root password.

that's works (after system update). Befor doesn't run neither with sudo nor without.

But now(maybe not bug) his tell me about mistmach passwd or shadow and group or gshadow. Last in general is absent.
Comment 3 CiScOh4x0r 2009-02-01 08:59:20 UTC
Does not work for me, just says: "The user database cannot be read. This problem is most likely causes by a mismatch between /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow OR /etc/group and /etc/gshadow. The program will exit now". 

I've just checket both files, nothing wrong (I think)...
