Hey everyone:

I just installed Fedora Core 3 a few days ago. During the first boot
configuration, I created a user account. When I attempted to log in, I found that
I could not use the account. I thought I made a mistake somewhere creating the
account, and logged in as root to see what the problem was. When I checked the
Users and Groups program, I found that nothing was listed.


Looking around with google, just about the only thing I could find on the problem
was BugZilla Bug # 116391, although it deals with shadow passwords. I have been
unable to find any other information on the problem.


Does anyone know what is stopping me from creating an account? Here is the output
of ls -l /etc/passwd:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1441 Feb 23 19:33 /etc/passwd


FC3 uses the /etc/shadow file (as do most current *nix's). Check the permissions of this file. If this file has 644 (the same as /etc/passwd) then take a close look at the Bugzilla entry.

I managed to fix it. I had to disable SE, and now everything works fine.
