Re: shadow problems with adduser
I've had the same thing happen. I normally hit ctrl-C (which kills it)
then change the password either as root using "passwd user" or by logging
in as that user and changing the password, I forgett which one worked.
I don't add users often on my system since it's private, so it's not a big
deal for me. I figure it will be fixed shortly.
