You can "install" the shadow file by executing touch /etc/shadow as root. But this (as the other suggestion you received earlier) will probably not help you much. During installation, what authentication method & options have you chosen, probably not the default? shadow is the file which holds your local user passwords. For FC3 you may want to go to Applications->Syhstem Settings- >Authentication. Make sure that in "User Authentication" all checks are off. In "Authentication", everything but "Use shadow passwords" and "Use MD5 passwords" is off, the latter 2 should be checked. While not having tried this, I assume thiw will re-generate the shadow- file for you and set the authentication mechanisms accordingly. HaJo PS: Make sure you have a rescue-CD handy. You might have to boot off that one in case your authentication is screwed and you can't even log in as root afterwards. -- HaJo Schatz <hajo@xxxxxxxx> http://www.HaJo.Net PGP-Key: http://www.hajo.net/hajonet/keys/pgpkey_hajo.txt
