Re: passwd in chroot / You may not view or modify password information for USER



Hi,


I had a chroot with debian sarge that I had to dist-upgrade to
debian etch. I have backups and everying. But the problem is
that now I try to change a user's password and I cannot.
What could be the problem? What am I not aware of (regarding
this issue)?

CHROOT> passwd userx
passwd: You may not view or modify password information for userx.


Try remounting with the "dev" option

# mount /debian -o remount,rw,dev
