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. ---- Edgemead High School (Northern Suburbs, Cape Town) Office Tel +27215581132 Office Fax +27215584407 -- EHS uses: Open WebMail (http://openwebmail.org) via Apache (http://www.apache.org) on SuSE Linux 8.2 (http://www.suse.de; http://www.suse.com) ----
