Sorry, I think I sent this to the "Announce" list initially on accident.
Hello,
I'm running several Fedora C2 boxes, and this one is giving me grief. I
can't reload it because apps are already running on it. I went to add a
"mysql" group while installing mysql 4.1.7, and found that I can't add
or modify groups and users.
With groupadd I get:
Groupadd: cannot rewrite group file
Same deal with useradd.
With system-config-users it locks up and in a terminal I see the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-users/groupWindow.py", line 154, in
on_groupWin_ok_button_clicked
self.parent.ADMIN.addGroup(groupEnt)
RuntimeError: couldn't get security context of `/etc/group': No data
available
Any ideas what could be causing it? And how I can fix it (preferably
not just rebooting, I can't reboot it until Saturday and I need to get
this going).
Dan.
