Summary: Shadow passwords not being created during installation
Product: Installation
Version: 1.822
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2

When you add users during installation of 9.2beta2, it does not create shadow
passwords, therefore no one (not even root) is able to change their password
using passwd. The only solution I found was to use userdel to delete the user,
and then use groupadd and useradd to recreate them. This worked as it should
and fixed it.
