Newtor and M0E.......... Check the /etc/shadow file on your new install see if the users you created show up there. I checked mine as I am having a similar problem as you. The new account is there but the password is in plain text and not encrypted as it should be. There is no password for root however in that same file.........hope this helps debugging this some.......:) Cheers, Robert Robert Lange vec...@ya... http://www.vectorlinux.com --- On Wed, 8/5/09, Newtor <gen...@gm...> wrote: > From: Newtor <gen...@gm...> > Subject: Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] VL6.0-SOHO-A1.9.21 > To: "Vector Linux developer's list" <vec...@li...> > Received: Wednesday, August 5, 2009, 1:38 PM > Hello, > > First: > I've come across a strange issue I mentioned a while back > but was unable to > reproduce.
