Title: Cannot Add Users on SME 5.6
Post by: John Albee on October 07, 2003, 11:07:28 PM
A few days ago I tried to add a user in the server-manager and it seemed to work.  I then went to set the password for the user and every time I triend I would get a blank screen after hitting submit.  I was really busy so I could not look at it much more but I did receive an e-mail from a cronjob which is below.

------------------
Could not get uid for user "stephanie" at /sbin/e-smith/warnquota line 126.
------------------

In an effort to find out what the cause was & because I suspected the issue was with adding the user and not setting the password I downloaded the Lazy admin tools.  I ran lat-users and what I got is below.  

------------------
[root@conundrum lat]# lat-users -a -c "stephanie | Stephanie | Lucas | stephanie"
Creating user account for stephanie (Uid:5031).
Failed to set Unix password for account stephanie: User not known to the underlying authentication module
User stephanie does not exist in system password file (usually /etc/passwd). Cannot add account without a valid local system user.
Failed to modify password entry for user stephanie
Failed to set Samba password for account stephanie.
Child exited early. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/esmith/util.pm line 908.
-----------------

After doing some googling I found a mailing list thread talking about a related issue on a RH system.  They resolved it by re-installing pam.  I tried to reinstall the version on the system but that did not resolve the issue.

Anyone have any ideas?

Has anyone encountered this before?  I have not any response and don't see much of anything similar to this on the board.  All help would be appreciated.
