#4844 Change password ACL not saving Group permissions

[Brad Breitenstein]

I am trying to edit the Change Password Module for either a group or user it does not save my changes. For example i have a group called Helpdesk that only has access to the Change Password module. I want them to only have access to 4 groups. When i make the change it applies and everything works. However, when i go back into the module the groups are no longer there. I checked the Helpdesk.gacl under /etc/webmin/passwd and it looks like this.

noconfig=1
mode=5
others=0
self=1
users=fmusr1 pmusr1 helpdesk operps
old=0
high=
sec=
notusers=
low=
repeat=1
expire=1

When i change it to the following everything populates in the web and it works. When i go back into the module it populates the web appropriately. I have a feeling the web interface is adding in the groups incorrectly in the acl file.

noconfig=1
mode=5
others=0
self=1
groups=fmusr1 pmusr1 helpdesk operps
old=0
high=
sec=
notusers=
low=
repeat=1
expire=1

Does this happen only for the change password module?

As far as I know yes. The users and groups section did not have this
problem.
