I ran into a similar issue while trying to install maxdb on one system (not at instance creation time like you).
The problem was that this system was not using shadow passwords. Running 'shadowconfig on' on this debian system fixed my problem. Your issue might be similar.
Red Hat 9.0
Ok,
ran grpcnv, pwconv....
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL....
Still no go. Anybody with RH9 and MaxDB successful? [Sapdb 7.4 installs and runs fine on that OS for me]

Michael, please check the password of 'auser' in /etc/shadow. It should look like auser:<13chars>:<someNumbers>:.... if it's auser:$1$<8chars>$<+16chars>:<someNumbers>:.... you still have a MD5 hashed password.
'auser' should also be a member of the sdba group (in /etc/group)
Henrik,
Correct! /etc/shadow was indeed was configured for MD5.
So for those wondering and the mailing list archive records, the solution:
As root, run "setup". Select 'Authentication Configuration' from the menu, skip the prompts, and uncheck "Use MD5 passwords"
Just in case, I retyped all the main account passwords through passwd just in case since MD5 isn't reversible... don't know if this was necessary though... I just didn't want to get locked out.
Thank you very much for your help. I like what you guys have done with version 7.5 of the user interface tools!
-Mike
