[webmin-l] Cluster User and groups problem not updating passwd and shadow files.

[Mark K. <MK...@ps...>]

Hello:
         In an attempt to address the password being stored in clear text, =
I am trying to implement the UNIX authentication option. I have two =
systems clustered and one system that I have added the user account on. =
When I go to update the two clustered systems this is what is reported:
Synchronizing 172.25.21.106 ..

Adding password file entry for niprout ..
.. done
Creating home directory ..
.. done

Copying files to home directory ..
.. done


Synchronizing 172.25.21.105 ..

Users and groups are in sync.

Synchronizing this server ..

Users and groups are in sync.

The problem is, that although Webmin reports that it has updated the =
passwd on 172.25.21.106, a check of the system files (passwd and shadow) =
shows no addition of the niprout account. It does however create the home =
directory.=20

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully;
                 Mark K.
