Sorry it has taken me so long to get back on this, but life interviened.

Ok, I have updated my fedora-devel box as of Jan 2, 2004.  I can run
system-config-users, but it crashes when I try to add a new user.  The
new user window comes up, I fill out all the fields, and click ok, and I
got this:

[root at zeuthide root]# system-config-users
/usr/share/system-config-users/userWindow.py:227: RuntimeWarning:
tp_compare didn't return -1 or -2 for exception
  if self.homeDirCheck.get_active() == gtk.TRUE:
Traceback (most recent call last):

on_userWin_ok_button_clicked
    if self.homeDirCheck.get_active() == gtk.TRUE:
TypeError: argument 2 must be list, not str

The window froze grayed out.

I can't get a core file.  As a regular user when I ulimit -c unlimited,
I get "bash: ulimit: core file size: cannot modify limit: Operation not
permitted".  When I do it as root it, the ulimit command completes ok,
but I still don't get a core file when I run xmms.

Any idea why?
