["darryl penny" <dpenny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good day,

We are a school with ±650 users.
We use SuSE 8.2, (very recently auto patched) with Yast2-2.7.30-1
I am experiencing the following error when running Yast2 > Security and Users
> Edit and Create Users or Edit and Create Groups:
The script halts with the following error:
"Cannot read system user settings"

This happened with a previous installation when I created users from the
command line and from within Yast2. 
It has happened again, although I only use the command line and run
/sbin/SuSEconfig frequently.

I have searched many documentation sources to no avail.
Any ideas would be welcome - If I'm on the wrong list, please forgive.

Regards to you all,
Darryl.
