Organization: The Humble Abode Date: Thu, 12 May 1994 15:10:17 GMT X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Message-ID: <Cpp3H5.D6n@oea.hacktic.nl> Lines: 12 I installed FreeBSD-1.1 and added two new users using the dreaded vipw. I then used chpass to give one of them a passwd. Now I can login to the user account without a password but can not login to the one with a password. I also noticed that master.password contains the password in plain text form. Is this normal? Or is this due to a lack of crypt functionality? So to all you BSD gurus, what is the problem and how do I solve it? -- |< Dan Naas dan@oea.hacktic.nl >| +--------------------------------------+
