[Bug 47090] No homedirectory created when creating a new user with userconfig

[jeroen69]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde-guidance

When I add a new user, there is no home directory created. The shell
tool  adduser works without problems.

The user is created, but only showed in the user list after a refresh of
that list (e.g. enable/disable system users).

This is the output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/userconfig", line 358, in slotNewClicked
    newuid = self.usereditdialog.showNewUser()
  File "/usr/bin/userconfig", line 886, in showNewUser
    self.admincontext.save()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/unixauthdb.py", line 862, in save
    os.write(fd,u._getShadowEntry().encode(locale.getpreferredencoding()))
