[root@matador /etc]# cat /etc/redhat-release
release 4.1 (Vanderbilt)

And the bug:

[root@matador /etc]# ls -l /etc/shadow
-rw------- 1 root root 693 Jun 10 11:19 /etc/shadow

Now I start X, run user and group configuration in control-panel.
I change some data then save and quit.

[root@matador /etc]# ls -l shadow
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 693 Jun 10 11:19 shadow

Best regards,
Kris
