I have had my server for several years, I haven't added a new user in probably 6 months or more. I tried to add one last night and all seemed fine. However it can't login via ssh (not at a console, so I don't know about that way) but existing accounts can.
I've tried changing the passwd to 'foo' (just something simple) and I keep getting the "Password:" prompt over and over. But if I ssh in to say, my account, it works fine. Ideas? /home looks like: drwxr-xr-x 4 joe users 4096 Nov 17 11:42 joe drwx--x--x 29 daevid users 4096 Nov 17 02:08 daevid daevid home # passwd joe New UNIX password: 'foo' BAD PASSWORD: it is WAY too short Retype new UNIX password: 'foo' passwd: password updated successfully daevid home # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: 'foo' Password: 'foo' ... daevid home # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: 'secret' Last login: Fri Nov 17 11:46:06 2006 from daevid.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ÐÆ5ÏÐ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
