In both cases, i always get this error: After the installer has finished I am asked to set a root password after I have done so I get the message: passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module The screen then immediately jumps to a ncurses window asking if I want to try and reinstall or abort, I have now tried this multiple times with different keyboard layouts (norwegian iso, and standard us), and I always get the same error. When i boot the live CD and manually try to set passwd, I get this error: passwd: in pam_sm_chauthtok(): pw_tmp() failed passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module >How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD 10 DVD (i386) in VirtualBox 4.3.4_OSE r91027 >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
