Hi Peter! yup, the script thinks the user and group already exist: + '[' 0 -gt 0 ']' + chroot . /bin/bash groupadd: group sshd exists useradd: user sshd exists + cat + exit 0 even though they are not in the passwd and group files: there are sshd user and group in my nis tables, but i have files before nis in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file: passwd: files nis shadow: files nis group: files nis could that still be the problem? -- michael On Wed, 25 Sep 2002, Peter Poeml wrote:

Hi Peter!
i've tried installing the rpms both via fou4s (fou4s -ivs) and by hand with rpm -Uvh package.rpm.
Hhm, that's strange. Maybe you should run rpm -Uhvv --force openssh.rpm 2>&1 | tee /tmp/rpm.out to trace what's going wrong.
The user should have been created, the rpm postinstall script contains the line grep -qs ^sshd: /etc/passwd || useradd -u 71 -g sshd -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/sshd sshd
How did you install the rpm?
