You cannot change your passwd and got a "cannot set password cipher" message. >How-To-Repeat: # passwd foo Changing local password for foo. New password: Retype new password: passwd: cannot set password cipher: Undefined error: 0 passwd: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged >Fix: You must treat 4.1.1-STABLE a brand-new version from 4.1-STABLE. That is, just like /usr/src/UPDATING says, you must do a make buildworld make buildkernel KERNEL=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE make installkernel KERNEL=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE reboot (in single user) [1] make installworld mergemaster reboot Then youˇ¦ll solve this problem on your own self. I wrote three scripts for "at" use foo.stg1: cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNEL=GENERIC make installworld KERNEL=GENERIC reboot foo.stg2: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNEL=JYWANG make installkernel KERNEL=JYWANG mv /kernel.old /kernel.GENERIC reboot foo.stg3: cd /usr/src make installworld mergemaster reboot After three "at" all the night, all "passwd" problems were gone! >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
