Password Change on RH 7.3 Samba PDC quit working

[snaildarter]

Everything was going so smoothly... until I tested a few password changes from the W2k clients. Several changes in a row worked just fine, and then I got a 0x547 error (Windows side). Since then, I can't even change the Unix account passwords with redhat-config-users (though I CAN with passwd commands) when running as root. Here is some output from trying to change a password with redhat-config-users:


-------
[root@linux73 root]# redhat-config-users
/usr/share/redhat-config-users/userWindow.py:73: DeprecationWarning: use GtkListStore/GtkTreeView
self.loginShellCombo.list.select_item(self.shells.index(default))
/usr/share/redhat-config-users/userProperties.py:159: DeprecationWarning: use GtkListStore/GtkTreeView
self.loginShellCombo.list.select_item(self.shells.index(shell))
/usr/share/redhat-config-users/userProperties.py:461: DeprecationWarning: use GtkListStore/GtkTreeView
self.primaryGroupCombo.list.select_item(index)
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.parent.ADMIN.setpassUser(self.userEnt, pw)
TypeError: function takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)
[root@linux73 root]#

I'm using all shadow passwords. I've checked the passwd and shadow and group and gshadow files, and they seem normal to me.

Does anyone know what I've done? I've really tried hard to solve this without asking for help. Even if you could point me in some direction, that would be awesome.

Thank you, -Josh

I'm running into the exact same problem (can't edit the password of a user in redhat-config-users because I get a "wrong number of arguments" error), though I'm running it under X Windows off a Mac, not Win2k. Google, news, Red Hat docs -- all turned up nothing. My Red Hat 7.3 is all up to date with latest packages.

Does anyone out there have any idea why this may be happening? (see below -- I get the exact same error messages as snaildarter)

Just want you to know that I gave up on this, especially since it seemed that no one else was having this problem. I like GUI's, but resigned myself to using the command line.

Thank you
