Comment 33 for bug 463353

I can verify that the fix works. I enabled the "karmic proposed" repo....and then ran "sudo apt-get install system-tools-backends". Changing user passwords now works in "Users and Groups". I am the image maintainer for Open1to1.org which develops and deploys an image for 1 to 1 netbooks and laptops to schools. In the creation of the newest image based on Karmic, one of our testers ran into this bug. I urge moving the fix ahead as quickly as possible as this really affects schools and system admins in school settings. Thanks for all you do!
