lock on shadow file
2007-12-25 5:16:00
When I create a new user I get a lock on the account in the shadow file
tyler:*LK*:12324::::::
Now when I try to create the password I get this
coral / 465 # passwd tyler
Password:
passwd: Sorry, wrong passwd
Permission denied
What Password is it asking for? I am root, I try the root password but
it fails.
I have in the passed just removed *LK* from the shadow file and then was
able to enter a new password. But I would like to know the correct way
to do this.
thanks
