Use the command

Code:

passwd username

to set the password for a user.

This is what it does:

Code:

$ passwd username
Changing password for username.
(current) UNIX password: 
Enter new UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: password updated successfully

Hi,

Did you already create user(s) using useradd or adduser command?

Kind regards,

Eric

Please try to run:

Code:

passwd username

And afterwards see it it will prompt for the password.

Hello,

You're not making sense here. How can it be that your system doesn't request passwords yet your users have one?

Can you elaborate on that one a bit because it's not clear to me what you mean.

Kind regards,

Eric

Yes ...
when I use chroot command .
useradd,userdel,passwd do working .

Hello,

Since you're working in a chroot environment your users cannot connect to that one. You'll need to boot into your OS instead. Then if all is set up correctly your users will be able to login. At least that's what I think is wrong. Are you trying to have your users login to a 'chrooted' environment?

Kind regards,

Eric

Hello,

What do you mean by 'switch to new distribution'? Do you mean that you boot into for example Debian and then 'switch' to the distro you're building with chroot?

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

That's what I was mentioning before, you'll need to boot into the new distro in order to be able to authenticate your users; not into Ubuntu.

Are you building an LFS system?

Kind regards,

Eric

mah454 · 05-31-2010, 12:35 AM

alike LFS .
LFS + Linux Pocket Guid ...

EricTRA · 05-31-2010, 12:39 AM

Hello,

So then like the LFS distro, as mentioned in the LFS book, you need to boot into your distro and not continue using the host system and chroot. Once you booted in the LFS system you should be able to authenticate your users correctly if they are created and passwords are set for them.

Kind regards,

Eric
