A had a similar issue, my permissions for the shadow file looked as follows:
-rw-r----- 1 root 42 1229 2009-10-30 22:26 /etc/shadow The neighboring groups to 'shadow' were 41 and 43, but for some reason the shadow group (now?) had the number 1001. I set the group of the shadow file to 'shadow', and that fixed it. I have no idea what caused the mess-up, but I figured I should post it here for the record. -- Unable to unlock because of password incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34775 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
