[SOLVED]Re: PVE 3.3-2 cannot enter password for new user

1. Linux PAM needs the user to have been created in the Linux file System before adding to the PVE GUI.
Created a linux user with useradd survive (not adduser). Then entered the details in the PVE GUI as Linux PAM.

2. PVE Auth Server creates the user with the password as a virtual user in the PVE GUI outside of the linux file system.
