system-config-users hangs

[Nico Bdav]

Hi,
Have you modified the file /etc/shells ?
you should check that there is no empty line or no new line at the end
of this file, these cause system-config-users to hang-up.
Removing the last empty line, solved the problem for me.

I encoutered this problem (if it's the same) which is already reported
in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209127
This problem affect at least RHEL3 and 4, Fedora 5 and 6.

Bye.
