From: bilan@cps.msu.edu (Thomas J Bilan) Subject: Setting up user accounts Date: 1 Sep 1993 04:32:55 GMT
I couldn't find adduser in my SLS distribution so I am trying to add users
via useradd. Right after I add them, I see their names in the /etc/passwd
file but I cannot log in! The passwd file is set for -rw-rw-r-- and
there is no /etc/nologin file. I know I am missing something relatively
easy because I haven't had this problem in previous installations.
I even set up /etc for drwxrwxrwx but nothing.
I'm getting a "Login incorrect" error message.
Whe I played around with the /etc/shadow file I got to log in but it told
me my password had expired and was going to let me change it but then said
I couldn't, the password was locked.
Thanks,
Tom Bilan
