Login fails with Login incorrect
on a system newly installed from the 1.0.1 ISO image — on only some reinstalls. Maybe it was my fault, but maybe not, it is kind of spooky. Can others reproduce? The first time the password was correctly set to x in /etc/passwd and in /etc/shadow the line looked normal. Maybe I made a typo when setting up the password? I tried to reproduce with a less sensitive password “y” for root and I believe an empty user password or maybe “y” too; now I got no user entry in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow but can log in as root. This was the content of /etc/passwd: root:x:0:0::/root:/gnu/store/qn1ax1fkj16x280m1rv7mcimfmn9l2pf-bash-4.4.23/bin/bash nobody:x:65534:997::/nonexistent:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin guixbuilder01:x:999:30000:Guix Build User 1:/var/empty:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin guixbuilder02:x:998:30000:Guix Build User 2:/var/empty:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin guixbuilder03:x:997:30000:Guix Build User 3:/var/empty:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin guixbuilder04:x:996:30000:Guix Build User 4:/var/empty:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin guixbuilder05:x:995:30000:Guix Build User 5:/var/empty:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin guixbuilder06:x:994:30000:Guix Build User 6:/var/empty:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin guixbuilder07:x:993:30000:Guix Build User 7:/var/empty:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin guixbuilder08:x:992:30000:Guix Build User 8:/var/empty:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin guixbuilder09:x:991:30000:Guix Build User 9:/var/empty:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin guixbuilder10:x:990:30000:Guix Build User 10:/var/empty:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin messagebus:x:989:983:D-Bus system bus user:/var/run/dbus:/gnu/store/dl8k19fivmv181d81lpn1nadsf219ky8-shadow-4.6/sbin/nologin polkitd:x:988:982:Polkit daemon user:/var/empty:/run/current-system/profile/sbin/nologin The content of /etc/shadow was root:$6$vWBy92HZjt$P.g83qzyyuZ0AebfKjsS/gZV.1SlaMkUqsmsO9cP1yXtpsCIE.9gDNDtMVwZWa..wmvVNqjqgjg7OFhKadshF.:18036:::::: nobody:!:18036:::::: guixbuilder01:!:18036:::::: guixbuilder02:!:18036:::::: guixbuilder03:!:18036:::::: guixbuilder04:!:18036:::::: guixbuilder05:!:18036:::::: guixbuilder06:!:18036:::::: guixbuilder07:!:18036:::::: guixbuilder08:!:18036:::::: guixbuilder09:!:18036:::::: guixbuilder10:!:18036:::::: messagebus:!:18036:::::: polkitd:!:18036:::::: Maybe I turned off my computer at the wrong time when booting into the installed system?
