Hi,

The computer works in the environment of NIS and the os is federo core 1. I want to add a local user to the computer and login as a local user. I can add a new user successfully, but I can’t give a password to the new user. After run the command “passwd”, I get the following information.

#passwd localusername
To change your shell run chsh
To change your finger info run chfn

It means that I can’t login with the local user name. I don’t know what to do about this.

Would you like to give me some help to login as a local user? Thanks

Peng

when you added the new user did you give it shell access?

hi,

How to add the shell access? Would you like to give me example? Thanks

Peng
