Updates selinux policy to 1.9-15. Is this problem fixed? Dan I'm sorry but I cannot test this for you. I reported this bug over a month ago, and I could only go a few days without being able to add users to my system. I replaced my install of Fedora Core 2 with SuSE 9. I just installed fedora core 2 test 2, and this problem exists. The system has policy-1.9-15 and policycoreutils-1.9-12. Hmmm... nevermind. I installed the policy source, ran make relabel on the filesystems, and everything was fine. I ran the installation again to check the problem, formatting the drives as before, but the problems didn't manifest. It must have been a hiccup during the first installation. You should only see this if the /etc/shadow or /etc/passwd file got mislabled. So if somehow they are getting mislabled we have a problem. Make relabel or restorecon /etc/shadow /etc/passwd would clear it up. Dan |
