YaST can't read user/group config

17 Jan 2005


      I use SuSE 9.1 and want to add/remove some users on my system, but yast fails 
on both ncurses (terminal mode) and qt (graphical mode) like this:
[x] Read the default login settings
[x] Read the default system settings
[x] Read the configuration type
[x] Read the user custom settings
=>  Read users and groups
-    Build the cache structures

     |   Cannot read user or group data.         | 
     |                      [OK]                             |

(that is the ncurses version)
What is wrong? is a file corrupted? Kuser works fine, but yast doesn't.
