I noticed a problem with disabling shadow passwords some time back and I don't know if anyone has fixed it, as (ahem) I haven't gotten around to reporting it yet... I recall (maybe wrongly) figuring out that when shadow passwords were not enabled, installer still saved root password into shadow before disabling it, or something on those lines. I could fix my installation at the time by going into single user mode and changing root password, after which it worked correctly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
