new user wrong password

Hi.

After installing base system and reboot I'm login as a root and trying add new user with:
useradd -m -G users,audio,lp,optical,storage,video,wheel,power,dbus,disk -s /bin/bash siamer
so new user is adder and now is time to change password for that user so
passwd siamer
I'm getting info that password was changed successful.
when trying login as a siamer getting error that WRONG PASSWORD. Was trying few times to login again as a root and change password for user "siamer" password was changed but still can't login.. what I'm doing wrong ?

Regards,
siamer

Re: new user wrong password

I had the same problem a while ago. I could only login after creating a user with the

adduser

command, i.e. the interactive method. The

useradd

wouldn't work. Maybe try the interactive way and see if that does the job.

Re: new user wrong password

@carukia good to hear that not only I have this problem

Thanks for info. I didn't think to use adduser. Next time I will try that.

Thank You!
