I cannot get login and passwd to work with glibc.
I am running:
AMD K6 processor
linux-kernel-2.4.0-test4
glibc-2.1.3
configured with
configure --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu --enable-add-ons \
--prefix=/usr \
--disable-sanity-checks
egcs-1.1.2
shadow-19990827
util-linux-2.10k.package
The passwd and login programs from the shadow package give the following
error
crypt: Operation not supported
If I disable shadow and run passwd from the util-linux package, it acts like
it successfully sets the password but the password field in /etc/passwd is
still empty (I am starting with no password set).
I have tried this with glibc compiled both with and withiout the crypt addon
package.
I have not found anything in the docs, FAQ's, or mailing lists that help.
Does anybody have any idea what would cause this? Perhaps some
configuration I am overlooking when compiling one of the packages?
If you need any more information, I will gladly provide it.
Please help if you can.
Thanks.
