NACK, adduser uses perl's system() call with an argument list, so there is no shell interfering with the command line. Actually, heartbeat installs fine in my test chroot, resulting in hacluster:x:101:108:Heartbeat System Account,,,:/usr/lib/heartbeat:/bin/false in /etc/passwd. Additionally, Steve, if your analysis were correct, the error message would be "chfn: unknown user System" So there must be some other issue that causes chfn to fail, the "PAM authentication failed" is another hint towards this. Waldi, can you please check whether /usr/bin/chfn -f "Heartbeat System Account" hacluster works on your system and report back? Tagging this bug as unreproducible, and downgrading to normal. Close deadline for this will be March 31. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
