Hi all, this is the first time writing to this list so first: hello to all. I'm a quite happy user of arch-linux since december last year, and up to now I managed to solve all tasks and difficulties using the rtfm button. ;o)) Now installing a further box (x86) I get this strange behaviour never met during ~15 years of linux usage: After setting up a new user I cannot login to it's account on the virtual console. I get: Login incorrect No matter whether password is set or not # passwd -S <user>: <user> P ... # password set <user> NP ... # password not set login as root works with and without password set (both times unset by deleting the /etc/shadow passwd entry). this also occured on another box currently installed - latter one a x86_64 user was added through # useradd -m -g <group> <user> password was set through # passwd user changing user from root via sudo or su works, as does login via xdm. login via lxdm and gdm doesn't, if that is of any help. If I do the same on my box writing this mail from (x86_64 - all updates included) everything works as expected. Couldn't find anything at the bugtracker. Before digging deeper my question: Any known issues or ideas on that? Friedrich
