<SNIP> | Only unusual thing I did prior to this is attempting to create a new | user with not so good results: the new user's home directory was | created, and so is the line in /etc/passwd: | | usermaria:x:1001:100::/home/usermaria:/bin/bash | | but I cannot log in as the new user! | | TIA You have to explicitly give the user a password before the account can be used. -- Eric G.
