Hi

I installed proxmox a while ago, and started installed one VM. It all is running only on one node (a NUC).
Now my host is unaccessible, and I would try to login to proxmox to check up on stuff.. But I cannot login to proxmox web interface.
I have access to the SSH.

I've read a bunch of posts regarding this but nothing has helped. I do not see anything in the logs.. except my own failed logins.

Code:

(I switched to root using "sudo su -")

Any hints of where to go from here?
 
user=rlm@pve msg=no such user
seems the user does not exist:
* did you create an rlm user in the PVE GUI? (or actually is it listed in /etc/pve/user.cfg?
* if yes please post your /etc/pve/user.cfg - then I'd try to reproduce the issue

The reference documentation on user management should provide all details:
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pveum.html

I hope this helps!

No.. I did not create such a user.. (It's just my default username).. but proxmos is using the root username.

Now might be a good time to actually go create "my own" user!
