Hi,
I have not changed passwd or added user for quite some time. This has been the case across several apt-get upgrades. Finally when I got to a point I wanted to setup an account, I ran into the following difficulty.
lata [root] 54 > adduser lata Adding user lata... Adding new group lata (1002). Adding new user lata (1002) with group lata. Creating home directory /home/lata. Copying files from /etc/skel passwd: Authentication token manipulation error adduser: `/usr/bin/passwd lata' returned error code 10. Aborting. Cleaning up. Removing directory `/home/lata' Removing user `lata'. Removing group `lata'. groupdel: group lata does not exist
I suspect one of the upgrades have subtly changed something. I am not sure what it is. All other things (that I tried) seem to work. Can you tell me what is broken? How to fix it?
Thanks and Regards Ramesh
