[splotch]-[root] /root* adduser test1 [splotch]-[root] /root* passwd test1 Changing password for user test1. New UNIX password:
That's odd.. works for me fine on FC2.. It's in your passwd, and in your shadow.. can you do a 'which passwd' and ensure you are referencing /usr/bin/passwd ? Do you have any external auth mechanisms setup, NIS, Ldap, etc?
Try a 'strace passwd test1' and look out the output (its ugly.. if you aren't familiar with it) and see what files its referencing and checking..
[root@hutch spool]# adduser test1 [root@hutch spool]# passwd test1 passwd: Unknown user name 'test1'. [root@hutch spool]# grep test /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/passwd:test1:x:512:513::/home/test1:/bin/bash /etc/shadow:test1:!!:12622:0:99999:7::: [root@hutch spool]# finger test1 Login: test1 Name: (null) Directory: /home/test1 Shell: /bin/bash Never logged in. No mail. No Plan. [root@hutch spool]# ls -l /etc/passwd /etc/shadow -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3197 Jul 23 19:08 /etc/passwd -r-------- 1 root root 2186 Jul 23 19:08 /etc/shadow
This box is uptodate and otherwise hasn't been exhibiting any strange behaviour. I've done rpm -Va and no binaries have changed. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? This is so strange.
