I've also tried changing the password a few times and tried changing the login, same thing. > Can the other users added the same way log in too? I tried it on my desktop machine and got the same result a few weeks ago but didn't bother digging into it yet. Looking now at master.passwd, the ones that aren't working have a password field of only 13 characters long whereas the ones that do work have a length of 34 characters. Could there be a connection there? Also what would cause the shorter encrypted passwords?
