Comment 2 for bug 316667

Thanks for these detailed considerations and for the patch. Though the fix is even simpler, and we already did this recently so that we don't fail if home dir or shell fields are empty. Since perl is nice, returning back a NULL password is not a problem to it, since it's converted to the empty string. Removing the check was enough. Please test that in Karmic as soon as you get it, and report if there are still issues (the fix will be available with the next GNOME beta release).

You seem to master the way the gnome-system-tools work. Please feel free to continue reporting precise bugs, and propose patches, since there are many of them, and support is always welcome! If needed, I can help you to find what you want in order to fix something.
