[SOLVED] PAM user creation problem

[mrapajic]

Hi guys,

we have an unusual problem on Backup Server 0.8-19 (completely new installation). We cannot create local PAM users via adduser, useradd etc. Only directy within /etc/passwd/group/shadow works. No error log or any warning. We also have Backup Server 0.8-14 and user creation this way works just fine.


EDIT

No, it looks OK

I installed a fresh PBS everything works, did you modified adduser, useradd?
