Linux client RHEL : use root user

kerstinvo · 08-19-2016, 09:12 AM

Linux client RHEL
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.7 (Santiago)
installed http with yum as root

Switch to root with su -
called: useradd apache

always the message:

[root@oc8800070412 ~]# useradd apache
useradd: failure while writing changes to /etc/passwd

SELINUX config disabled did not make any difference.

Has someone any idea ?

Did you actually check to see if the apache user ALREADY EXISTED??? And you're using RHEL...you are PAYING FOR RHEL, right??? Did you contact RHEL support?

the user apache does not exists. the client is from the company for all linux users.

Ok..do a "ps -ef | grep -i firej", and see if (??) firejail is running.

And that matters HOW, exactly?? RHEL is NOT FREE...you need to pay for it if you're using it. Since you're using it, have you contacted the support you're paying for?
