Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
i changed passwords of other users by creating a random password with the users-admin gui. It simply has no effect, even when i restart the system. i use karmic koala on i386 updated today (installed fresh from the 9.10rc).
***TEST CASE***
- Create a temporary test user account
- With both versions of system-
1) Run users-admin
2) Unlock
3) Select test user and click Properties
4) Set new password
5) Try to log in with new password
With s-t-b 2.8.2-1, the password isn't changed and it is only possible to log in with the original account password.
With s-t-b 2.8.2-1ubuntu1, the password is changed and it is possible to log in with the new password

Thanks for your report. Do you get the same problem if you run system- tools-backends- 2.0/scripts/ SystemToolsBack ends.pl -m UsersConfig
sudo killall /usr/bin/perl; sudo /usr/share/
from console, and reproduce the procedure in users-admin without stopping the above command? Do you get the same problem when using a manual password?
If that not the case, please read the instructions at https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingGn omeSystemTools, and follow the procedure for the tool users-admin.
