In FreeBSD 8.3, Gnome 2.32.1:
I think I've eliminated all the possible bonehead noob moves I might have made in trying to get this system up and running. I returned to a thread I found (on System Administration in Gnome) that referred to a missing comma. The post was in June so I figured that issue had already been resolved. I was wrong.
So, forging ahead where I perhaps should not have, I found the file with the missing comma and added it. Lo and behold the situation improved significantly. The original issue - accessing Users & Groups - was still not possible. Now, however, a dialog box shows up but greyed out. It does not change after five minutes so I assume it's stuck.
I'd greatly appreciate some ideas on where to go next.
Many thanks.
George
