https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239662 Summary: zen-updater fails to add user, though it promises to do so Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Zenworks AssignedTo: zlm-code10-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bryce1@obviously.com QAContact: sarifulla@novell.com Out of the box: SUSE 10.2. Log in as a user (not root). Now "update". Zen (or whatever it is) tells me I need to add a user with privs, and provides a handy + button to do so. Though it asks me for the root password, adding the user fails with no details or log message. I have to do it from the command line as root: hardhat:/home/bryce # /usr/lib/zen-updater/service-utility --adduser:bryce Perhaps it is getting this error internally? bryce@hardhat:~> /usr/lib/zen-updater/service-utility --adduser:bryce 2|0|Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Public.ZenException: Permission denied.
