problem with system-config-users in FC4

[Joachim Backes]

Hi,

i tried to use system-config-users for managing the user database, but
got an error message like:

"The user database cannot be read.  This problem is most likely caused
by a mismatch in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.  The program will exit
now."

Comparing /etc/shadow with /etc/passwd gave no results (line #
identical, user names identical).

Removing /etc/shadow, and then using pwconv did _not_ solve my problem.

useradd and groupadd are working well.

Any help appreciated.
