Make /etc/pam.d/useradd as follows: |
| 17 |
--------------- |
| 18 |
auth required pam_rootok.so |
| 19 |
account required pam_pwdb.so |
| 20 |
session required pam_pwdb.so |
| 21 |
-------------- |
| 22 |
copy this to /etc/pam.d/shadow |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
and things should work better you still get a warning like |
| 25 |
useradd: PAM chauthok failed. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I will look into this a little deeper |
