Trying to add a new user with adduser gets the following error when setting a password: chfn: PAM: Authentication failure adduser: `/usr/bin/chfn paulb' returned error code 1. Exiting. Upon rebooting and attempting to log in, I get the previously stated error message flashed up briefly on the display after trying to log in as root or my perhaps unsuccessfully created user: Unable to determine your tty name I'm using the same kernel as before, which is a mipsel 3.3.8 Linux kernel built using the OpenWrt toolchain. So perhaps there's some incompatibility between kernel and user space. Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
