Hi, I just ran into this problem too.
I manually added the user and group to /etc/passwd, /etc/group. I also needed to edit /etc/shadow because passwd was once installed in the chroot and enabled it. You get some strange error messages if /etc/shadow exists, but the user isn't in it. Removing the passwd package still keeps it enabled. Anyway, I didn't know about gshadow, so I didn't fix that. I don't have passwd installed in my chroot because it's not essential. This also means that apt does not prompt about removing it. It might be a required package, but nothing says you can't remove those. I've just tried turning it off, which failed because the group was missing, so I added it and turned it off, which fixed things for me. But it's now enabled again, since passwd was installed again, and the group is added again. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
