I can't load kuser, when I try to run it from Run it asks for a password and never loads.

I get this error in a terminal session in KDE:

Anybody got any ideas? I can't get screen shots of Kuser for my documentation without a working program

do you use kde 3.4.3 ? the kuser version that comes with it is really broken...

I'm not at school to check at the moment, I beleive it is 3.4.3, it did work at one point. Should I downgrade to the last release or upgrade to a masked version?

well i haven't tried kde 3.5.x yet so i don't know. for user management, try the command line instead...

Naturally I have no problem with that, however the machine is going to be managed by people who have no Linux experience, I was in the process of writing a manual for basic systems managment when I realized that it had stopped working. I think i'll try and downgrade KDE, if that doesn't work i'll reinstall from scratch.

Thank you for your responses.

Your recommendation of using KDE 3.5 was correct, thank you it loads now.

I have a new issue though.

When I create a user in Kuser the /etc/skel files are copied over however .bashrc is not run when a user logs in. If I create the user with useradd from command line it works fine.

Any suggestions?
