But it did! The missing 'x' was significant. I do not know the exact function of that 'x', but without it the system does not ask for a password, although there is one in /etc/shadow. Try removing the 'x', and try a few times to login on that account. Now replace the x, and again try a few times to login on that account. Cheers, Leen
