I am having a problem with 'adduser'. The behavior is as follows:
Upon entering
'adduser some_name'
entries are created in
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
a home directory is created
and the files from /etc/skel are copied to it.
But error messages are issued
Unknown error
passwd: unknown user: some_name.
The /etc/passwd entry has the character <!> in the encrypted password
field (I think that's what this field is) and a subsequent login attempt
is unsuccessful.
Yesterday, adduser worked OK.
The system is a tiny one with NIS installed and working (yesterday).
Any hints?
Regards, Richard
