Re: help! sysupdate

You do this as root, don't you?

You can always add a group manually by editing /etc/group.

Re: help! sysupdate

I solve the problem by downgrade shadow (4.0.5->4.0.4). Anyone have some problem?

Re: help! sysupdate

what packages were upgraded - if shadow was upgraded you may need to remove the current shadowed files and reshadow them (not sure on this, grasping at straws)

Re: help! sysupdate

Actually, I'm getting:

# groupadd test
Password:
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:

It actually changes my root password, which means obviously that it's behaving like passwd. Both commands are provided by the shadow package, but the programs result in different md5sums, meaning they're not exactly the same.

I just emailed the developper to find out if this is in fact an upstream problem.

Re: help! sysupdate

After you've entered the root password, the group gets created, you just Ctrl-C out of the "new UNIX password" prompt.
