 Posted: Sat Sep 21, 2002 1:09 am Post subject: UsAuthentication token manipulation error |
 |
|
Yikes. I can create a user, but I can't log in as said user. I've tried 5 different users. Only user I can log in as (terminal or ssh) is root.
When logged in as root, I can su to a user but when i try to change the password I get the error:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
It isn't the shell, users have /bin/bash in passwd, however i've noticed that in /etc/shadow the passwords for users are not shadowed. odd.
tail /var/log/pwdfail/current is as follows:
| Code: |

Finally, I tried to 'emerge world'. after about 6 hours it finished. I rebooted and logged in and got the following errors:
| Code: |

After a quick search I tried to emerge bash again, but that didn't fix that problem.
At this point, I'm afraid the solution has eluded me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
