1 Hello all,
2
3 Not sure if this is the right list but here goes...
4
5 I've gotten all the way thru the install (looks great!), and reboot.
6
7 I logon as root (just hit enter at the password) and all is still fine
8
9 I type passwd to change root password. I enter the new password two times
10 then wait a bit and get "fatal error in passwd"
11
12 So I try adduser, and I get "unable to lock password file".
13
14 The question is, how do I fix this?
15
16 Thanks,
17 Daniel Parker
