2008-07-06 05:12:14 Greg Grossmeier description 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.
