[SOLVED] change password failed user .... does not exist

[KatyComputer]

I added a user via command-line: pveum user add katycomputer.john@pam

Then tried to set the password via: pveum passwd katycomputer.john@pam

CLI said: change password failed: user 'katycomputer.john' does not exist

So, I tried to replicat via GUI - no joy, any idea where I went wrong?

Try to choose diferent realm, I mean PVE instead of PAM

That worked. Is there a way to use the command line to setup PAM users?

I belive you have to use standart useradd command and only after pveum, but I am not sure. I see no reason to use PAM for other users except root ...
