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.
So I understood the man pages of passwd and pwconv. The user was initially created as "sidadm" with YaST in one VM, then the VMs were cloned and the user was renamed (by changing the "username" field in YaST) according to the SAP system that is going to run on it (since it is essential that those users all have the same numerical ID). All SAP users are found in /etc/passwd as well as in /etc/shadow. The only thing I can imagine is that the renaming went wrong in (at least) one case. Sorry for the uproar :-( Regards, Werner -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkx2YNsACgkQk33Krq8b42O+OgCeOqXRzGBgG/dwtW1QxYCBgNWl 8WAAnimZ4H7egohHr87B3zaLxe2PzSXF =aXzq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
