(Get the code!)
This affects Kubuntu in System Settings -> About Me. Changing and saving your name/email/ etc. makes the system ask for your password. After entering in your password the follow error box pops up saying:
"An error occurred and your password has probably not been changed. The error message was: chfn: Permission denied."
However, the error seems to not have any affect. The settings are saved as expected regardless of the error.
There are perhaps three papercuts here: 1 being that a user must type in his/her password when changing information, 2 that an error message popped up, 3 that the error message has nothing to do with any of the settings that the user actually changed.
