Oh, nice, no entry in /etc/shadow for that user!

Indeed passwd sets the password for a user in /etc/passwd if no shadow entry exists. How did you create that user? useradd creates entries in both passwd and shadow so a user without shadow entry shouldn't even exist. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
