Hello, I'm new to reporting bugs, but I know my way (a bit) around
linux.

I am on a old iMac g3 (slot-loading) and am reproducing the same problem
multiple times on fresh installations from the alternate PowerPC Ubuntu
install disk. I've been using the recovery mode on the alternate disk to
try and check the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files for information on
my *supposedly* added account and found no traces of an account.

To remedy this, I have tried (by others' suggestion) modifying the root
password while in recovery mode and my installation partition mounted at
/, but this fails with an "authentication token manipulation error."

Have there been any updates to this bug? I can provide more details on
the configuration of my machine if that helps the process at all.
