Can you post what's being written to /var/log/auth.log when you try to change the password?Hi,recently I set up a new server using Debian testing. When I tried adding a new user a few days later, I noticed that it was impossible to set a password for the user.The error-message ist "System error" together with the information that the password is unchanged.r...@fp:/home/airflow# adduser lorenz Adding user `lorenz' ... Adding new group `lorenz' (1001) ... Adding new user `lorenz' (1001) with group `lorenz' ... Creating home directory `/home/lorenz' ... Copying files from `/etc/skel' ... passwd: System error passwd: password unchanged Try again? [y/N] y passwd: System error passwd: password unchanged Try again? [y/N] Changing the user information for lorenz Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default Full Name []: Room Number []: Work Phone []: Home Phone []: Other []: Is the information correct? [Y/n] r...@fp:/home/airflow#Then I found out that it's impossible for none of the existing users to change their password, neither:Here the output if the existing user "airflow" tries it himself: airf...@fp:~$ passwd Changing password for airflow. (current) UNIX password: passwd: System error passwd: password unchanged And also when root wants to set it for the same user: r...@fp:/home/airflow# passwd airflow passwd: System error passwd: password unchanged I didn't find anything on the net. Any ideas?
